Classwork and Homework

Today in class, we first worked on a fluency writing prompt that will also help me know how to help you on your Process Analysis essay. We then went through a student sample of a detailed outline and an annotated bibliography, and followed this up with an activity where we looked at references and information from sources and compiled an annotated bibliography entry in groups. We finished up the class with a vocabulary review game. The PowerPoint for today can be found here.

Homework:

• Detailed Outline and Annotated Bibliography (Draft 1) due on Monday, July 28th, by 5 pm on turnitin.com
• Have a fantastic weekend! Yes, this is homework. I expect you to have a good weekend. :)

Classwork and Homework Helps

Today in class we briefly talked about the importance of creating our own personal study space. We watched a BYU Library advertisement that was a parody of this advertisement. The main thing that we talked about today was how to complete the detailed outline and annotated bibliography, and we practiced paraphrasing and note taking to help us with those tasks. Here is the PowerPoint that was used today.

Homework:

• Draft your detailed outline for 20 minutes
• Create an annotated bibliography entry for a paraphrase summary you have done for this essay (use the information below to help you : 
• Author: Roger Sipher. 
• Title: So That Nobody Has to Go to School If They Don't Want To 
• Title of Print Source: The New York Times. 
• Date: December 19, 1977 
• Page: 31 
• Type: Print 
• You can use citationmachine.net or Google Scholar to create the citation, but I want it to look like the example in your pink packet when it is finished.

Example:
Lewis, M., & Coates, D. L. (1980). Mother-infant interaction and cognitive development in twelve-week-old infants. Infant behavior and development, 3, 95-105.

• Mother response to a baby is more important than stimulation from the mother. 
• Mother and child correspondence helps baby cognitively. 
• Stimulation was not shown to be a significant portion of cognitive development

Classwork and Homework

Today in class, we talked about selecting a topic, conducting background information, and narrowing a topic of research. I also introduced the outline and annotated bibliography that you will need to do for your first draft (due July 28th), and the requirements for them as well. In addition, we also talked about how to create a good thesis statement for Integrated Essay prompts. The PowerPoint for today can be found here. (9:30 class, it is a little different than what was presented in your class, I had to revise it so it was more coherent. See, even teachers need to revise!!!)

Homework:

• Come up with at least 2 solid ideas for your process analysis essay (you might want to review the information in your book for help.)
• Determine if the ideas are directional or informational. 
• Study for your Vocabulary List 8 Quiz

Today in class we took a review quiz on Academic Word List 4. We also reviewed our topics and went through how to create our thesis statements and outlines for our classification essays. We went through the green packet and identified or brainstormed about the principle of classification as well as the categories for each of our essays. Here is the PowerPoint from today. Below are links to help you with your outline writing.

• Classification Essay Outline Requirements - This is the green handout from class today that you used to brainstorm for the final outline that you will turn in tomorrow
• Student Outline Example - This is an old student's outline I showed you in class today. Her essay was on different types of technology. 
• Classification Outline Template - This is the document that you can use for your own outline. Remember to fill it out all of the way, and put your reference links at the end!

Homework:

• Classification Outline is due tomorrow (Friday) by 5 pm on turnitin.com

Outline Homework

Today in class, we learned about writing Integrated Essays and then practiced with doing one. Tonight for homework, you must create an outline for your first paper (Compare & Contrast) on economic systems. Use the background knowledge worksheet, the venn diagram, and your written thesis statement to create this. This outline will provide you with the basics, you just fill in the information! :) I will show you how to do it in the example below. The information you must fill in is represented by the blue text. This is due by NOON tomorrow. Please email the digital copy to me, or hand in the packet to me

EXAMPLE:

Compare/Contrast Outline—Point-by-Point

Topic: Economic Systems

2 Items: Command system and traditional system

3 Sub Topics: Motivation for progression, opportunities given to individuals, citizens already given set roles 

Introduction

            Thesis – Although command and traditional economic systems are different in how they function, they are actually similar in their treatment of individuality in their citizens in that motivation for progression is low, the opportunities given to individuals are little to none, and that citizens are already given set roles in society.

Sub topic 1 - Motivation for progression
Item 1 – Command system

Item 2 – Traditional system

Brainstorming – In U.S.S.R. in the 70s & 80s = low motivation to get better; societies in Africa are unchanging and have no upward mobility; no room for a person to move up

Sub topic 2 - Opportunities given to individuals

Item 1 – Command system

Item 2 – Traditional system

Brainstorming – Very limited to what a person can do, citizens have little to no rights, and can be punished for their "disobedience" to the system.

Sub topic 3 - Citizens have a set role in society
Item 1 – Command system

Item 2 – Traditional system

Brainstorming – In Inuit societies, they needed to depend on skill, and depended on those with skill but the average person wouldn't be able to provide.
