week 4, Sept 17

Wk 4 in class

• roots
• expert groups: topic sentences (DW 5222-523), transitions (DW 478-479), quoting (464-466 AND 467-469), sentence variety (DW 46-49) and how to punctuate sentence (242 on). Also in DW are chapters on MLA and APA citations, so you have no reason to just "guess" how to do it right
• Miss H's quote sandwich, funnel intro and reverse funnel conclusion

HW:

Revise your draft 1 after reading over again all the pages we go over. Send your draft 2 to me by Sunday, Sept 23, 5pm (email it to me at this address: misshsfsu@yahoo.com as this is the only address from which I can build an address book to email you all back).

I will then set up peer review groups, and will email you the peer review form and directions. You must email your draft to your partners by Monday, 9/24, at 7pm. We will not meet as a class that night, but you can, if you prefer, arrange to meet on campus to do the reviews in person. If you decide to go that route, let me know via email.

All peer reviews must be completed by Sunday, 9/30, by 12:00 noon, to allow people time to take feedack and revise again for the final paper. Email reviews to your partners AND to me for credit; failure to do the reviews on time means you lose 10 points off your grade.

We will not meet as a class next Monday. Do your reviews during that time block if you think you will have trouble getting to them later in the week.

Final essays are due in class, with your vocab log updated to include at least 4 weeks worth of words, in class on October 1. We will also have a quiz that day on comma splices, fragents, run together sentences, the semicolon, and your roots so far. STUDY these if you are unsure you know them (your book and the Internet both have much information on all aspects of grammar).
