Essay 3 Due Dates Revised
Essay 3 is due for peer review today, Tuesday, November 26, 2013. The final draft is due into me via email by 12 noon Tuesday, December 3. Grades are final. make sure the MLA for the academic essay, in-text citations, works cited and bibliography are perfect.
Monday, Dec. 2, 2013, we will meet in A-205 for another peer review with Microsoft Comment. We learned today how to change the colors for each reader.
Review the rubric for the course and make sure that grammatical errors, including spelling errors are minimal. If they overwhelm the paper, your grade will suffer. We have a Writing Center where tutors will give students assistance. If you have never visited L-231, now is the time.
We reviewed these areas:
From They Say
Metacommentary
Tone--author's voice
Naysayer
Multiple Perspectives
Quotation Sandwiches
Signal Phrases
So What? Who Cares? Creating empathy for the topic
Initial Planning Sheet
Outline
Evidence
Purpose
3-Part Thesis
Organization
Rules for Writers
Pages 83 and 36-37
Students also added three areas they wanted classmates to read for.
It goes without saying that we emphasize what is working well.
The class portfolio is due the day of the final. These dates vary per class. On the day of the final students will present there research on Rebels.
What is a rebel?
Students will use the three essays beginning with Rosa Parks and ending with your Social Entrepreneur to illustrate your definition.
I suggest students make a poster presentation, that is, divide a folding board into three parts where each aspect of your Rebel presentation is outlined and your essays highlighted with visuals. I have examples of poster presentations I can show you.
I plan to videotape these presentations for scholarly research and documentation.
Later today, I will post the portfolio checklist for this semester. Students will also get a paper copy. The checklist can serve as the table of contents for the portfolio which is due the last day the week of finals: Friday, December 13 by 8 a.m. My grades are also due this day. If the portfolio is late or turned in incorrectly, you will fail the course.
I will not have time to call students or return the portfolio for those who have not submitted the work correctly. Make sure you come to class this week and next week to practice and assemble your portfolio.
