Tuesday, September 20 and Wednesday, September 21

Freshmen: Today we looked at a number of things relative to writing, most importantly using summary and commentary to support your thesis. What you are to do is this: Get onto turnitin.com and review your essay and the comments posted on it. Click on "grademark" to get the page that shows the comments. Click on the post-its to see the comments. Revise (i.e. improve) your essay based on the feedback. Print it out. On the written page, annotate (i.e. explain in a different colored ink) what you changed and why. Make your annotations right there on the page where the change occurred. The essay is due Monday.

Read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday.

Due Friday is vocab.

CNF: Today we prepped for Chapter 4, focusing on the idea of structure, when it helps us and when we should deviate from it.
