However, first I would like you to do a writing fluency exercise. You will spend 20 minutes on it. Choose one of the prompts below.

Journal Prompt One (TOEFL 30-min):

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, email, or telephone calls. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

Journal Prompt Two:

Respond to one of the quotes below about effort. Explain if you agree or disagree with the quote. Think about your own effort to learn English. What kind of effort will you make to continue learning English this semester? after this semester? Why is effort important? How do you know when you put effort into an activity or task?

• “Be of good cheer. Do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost." ― Helen Keller

• "Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential". ― Winston Churchill

• "Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought." ― Napoleon Hill

When you are finished, please email me your fluency exercise.

The rest of the class period can spend looking at my feedback on your outlines on turnitin.com and developing body paragraphs for your essays.

Homework:

• Have at least one body paragraph printed and brought to class tomorrow. We will be doing an activity with it, so you need to bring it.

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. :)

Today is a day for you to further research, compile your annotated bibliography, and develop your detailed outlines.

By 5:00 pm on Monday, July 28th, you must have:

• A detailed outline (see handout "Outlines" in your pink packet) 
• An annotated bibliography (see handout in your pink packet) with at least 4 sources.

First, please take this short questionnaire about your homework.

• Homework July 21st

To help you with your writing today:

1. To find more sources for your paper, go to lib.byu.edu, and use advanced search. The button looks like this:  
2. You can then search for the main topic (example: cognitive development), and a sub topic (example: sensorimotor development) in the two fields:
   
3. This should help you get the sources that you need for your paper.

If you have had a conference with me already, look through the sources I have found for you, and see if they will work for your paper and write down the information you find in your annotated bibliography and detailed outline.

Work on your annotated bibliography and detailed outline. Please click to view and download the outline template and the sample student annotated bibliography and detailed outline below.

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
