  • Take Quiz 5.
  • When you are finished, read: “Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing.”
  • In-Class Writing: Pull up your Grammar Guide. Go over your final drafts of Essay 1 and 2 and post the rules to your blog with examples from your essay of grammar edits marked in D2L (first the error, and then the sentence corrected). If you do not have those rules in your guide, read over the rule in D2L and add it to your guide.
  • Go over in-text citations and what to include on your Works Cited pages.
  • Form your peer review groups. In-Class for Wednesday: By midnight on Wednesday, comment on:
    • Unsupported claims (highlight in light blue)—for every claim, they need researched evidence to support it.
    • Fallacies (describe what error they have made and give suggestions for how they can amend it)
    • Any questions and suggestions you have after reading their paper.
    • At the end, leave a note and evaluation (1-10 score) of their overall appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos. Also note whether you are their sympathetic, neutral, or hostile audience, and if they persuaded you (and why or why not). If they did not, explain what evidence you’d need and/or what concessions they would need to make to persuade you.

Homework due by class time tomorrow: Post your second draft (4 pages) of essay 3 to your blog and to D2L. Make sure you argue for a solution, provide evidence of your proposed solution’s (potential or actualized) effectiveness, and propose a call to action for your classmates. Make a copy on Google Docs and share with me and your peer-reviewers.
