Day 14: Quoting

So far, which paragraph have you found to be easier, and why do you think it has been? Answer here.
Short List

1. Attendance Check and Warm-up Question
2. Engaged Powerpoint
3. Quoting Incorporation and Drafting Questions
4. Informal Early Feedback

Homework:
Write a comparison and contrast paragraph around 300 words in length. Here is the specific assignment prompt that overviews the details of the assignment. The assignment is due on TONIGHT.

• Please do not forget to name the file: "111_cause_netID_0" (The highlighting indicates that this is something that will change based on your name. For example, my cause and effect paragraph would be called, "111_cause_jpbair2_0."). I don't anticipate any problems with this because everyone did it perfectly on the last paragraph.

Optional: Any Writer's Help exercise that I suggested on the draft of your paper that I returned to you. (However, you must have completed 5 by 29 September)

The Details
Schedule of events:

1. [5 minutes] Attendance Check and Warm-up Question

2. [25 minutes] Engaged Powerpoint
I do not normally like to show PowerPoint presentations in class.  Here's why.

But, in this PowerPoint Presentation, we all have jobs to do.  I'll show the PowerPoint (which you have for your later referencing if you need), and you can use your brilliant brains with the accompanying tasks. Don't worry, it won't be boring.

As I walk through the PowerPoint, you will follow along on the Accompanying Tasks digital handout.  We will pause to practice throughout the lesson.

 3. [10 minutes] Quoting Incorporation and Drafting Questions
As always, I don't want you to have to turn in a piece of writing without a good chance to ask questions.  If you find that you don't have any questions, please take this time to work on incorporating your quote, paraphrasing, or even asking me about the draft I returned to you on Wednesday.

4. [10 minutes] Informal Early Feedback
One of my main goals in teaching this class is to make it learner-centered.  This means that I want this class to focus on teaching you what you need how you need it.  Please take the time to carefully fill out this survey letting me know about your impressions, feelings, opinions, and experiences in this class.  It is completely anonymous, so please be honest.  The more you say, the more you help make this class useful for everyone and even more high quality.
