I forgot to include the due dates on the Research Essay Notes. The dates are as follows: The planning sheet and 5-10 sources are due Thursday, November 8. An introduction and conclusion, along with an outline are due Tuesday, November 13. The first draft of the essay is due, Tuesday, November 20. The final draft is due Tuesday, November 27.
There are no exceptions to these dates unless a student wants to turn the final draft in early.
Today in class I handed out hardcopies of the library guide to research and a website evaluation worksheet. Semhar already had something similar in her notes. I don't know if the rest of you have already completed a similar task. The questions are different as are the websites you can choose to evaluate. We will complete this task in pairs on Thursday, November 1.
I gave students a copy to two essays to read on censorship. The essays are arguments. Discussion questions follow the essays. We'll talk about the essays on Thursday. The essay response will be our freewrite on Thursday, so read it in advance.
Homework is to read two chapters in Guy's book. Other reading includes reading the introduction to Blood Beats. Students are also to read a selection of their choice. Post a response to teh selection here. We will talk about this on Thursday, November 1.
We'll talk about arguments a bit on Thursday also: deductive and inductive, logic, claims and support, fallacies, syllogisms, appeals and audience, discourse communities, enthymemes.... (Hacker pp. 344-368). We will do the exercises on pp. 367-368).
