Today in class we completed two worksheets on plagarism. There are three more in this set from Hacker. We are completing them in class. I gave students all of the assignments handouts, but the worksheets are not homework.
Today in class students had a freewrite assignment. It was to develop a character profile for the protagonist or antagonist in the story. Students then shared their profile with a classmate(s) who asked questions which who hopefully get answered in an update of the profile as the story develops and the writer learns more.
Tomorrow we will have another book-related freewrite looking at themes. Wednesday we will look at the setting and its role in the story, along with any important people geographically situated in these physical, philosophical, social or political, regions. Thursday, students will write a short essay using the text.
This essay will be an emotional biography for the character identified in today's freewrite.
Each of the three paragraphs in this short work will utilize one citation: free paraphrase, block quote and shorter citation in that order. Each paragraph will be minimally 4-5 original sentences long.
For this assignment, bring in a completed IPS and a thesis sentence to explore. This will be a cyber-assignment. We will meet in A-205.
Many students are not far enough along in their chosen books. Start reading them. There is a parallel assignment happening now as well. You should be looking for a "rebel" to profile for Essay 3 (the final essay.) I gave students a library handout to start the process. You have to get the person approved first, before you do the literature search.
Rosa Parks is our model. She was an ordinary person compelled to do extraordinary things. Batman is a similar superhero as is Superman (smile). What is Wonder Woman's story? Your social entrepreneur is also an ordinary person doing extraordinary things.
Bring 50 Essays to class daily along with your book.
Lastly, I shared with students the dates I will be away in November. I will host a writing workshop Thursday, Nov. 7, in A-205, 12:30 to 2 p.m. It is drop in and optional.
