Goal: Make some sense of these paper drafts.
HW: Revise and submit a paper copy of your essay by next class, which is Thursday, 3/14 at 1:25 during TCAP week. Don't forget!
First Step: Haiku Contest in honor of Kyle:
The topic: The perfect travel experience
You have three minutes. Be ready to share.
Computers: Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease return computers neatly to their proper slots. (Number is on the bottom).
First Step: With the person next to you:
Help each other improve. Trade either paper drafts or computers. Help each other with the following
1. Did the author answer the question clearly with a specific argument and reasons?
2. Did the author stay organized? (Paragraphs, topic sentences, evidence, explanation, transitions?)
3. Are there any distracting errors in CUPS?
4. Are the comparison examples creative and sophisticated, or are they obvious? How could they improve?
5. Does the author write with honesty, courage and conviction, or are we going through the motions still? Don't be afraid to say, "This paper bores me, and you can fix it by...."
I will come and check drafts. People who have it posted or have a paper copy get a 5 for the draft. People who don't obviously need to get to work.
You can still get some credit for a draft if you show it to me by Monday (Note: This means you need to make an effort to come find me or email me a draft.)
