Today we had a discussion on chapter 1 (slide 2), then watched the film version of chapter 1. Homework is to read chapter 2 for tomorrow. Do not forget: Minorities Socratic seminar reflections are due by Wednesday at 10pm on turnitin.com.
I have finished grading Huck Finn essays. Here is the process for revisions: 1.Have you checked your rubric on comments on turnitin.com? No? You cannot revise until you do so. Yes? You are able to revise. 2.Choose the rubric categories you most want to improve: MLA, Evidence, Understanding, Analysis, Intro/Conclusion, Structure/Sequence, Writing Style. 3.For each category you want to improve, write a brief paragraph answering: What did you do well in that category? What do you need to improve? How are you going to improve? 4.Next: pick one or two sections that you struggle with, and revise that. For example, say one paragraph lacked analysis, rewrite that paragraph with better analysis. Or, if you need to improve quote integration, pick a paragraph to rewrite quote integration. If you lost points because you did not have a Works Cited Page, you can also turn that in to increase the MLA score. 5.If you are not sure why you got a score on a section, read the rubric descriptors or talk to Woldendorp. 6.This will be due by December 9th. You will email or bring in a printed copy and give it to Woldendorp. 7.The overall point of this is to see that you know where you are struggling, and practice/improve by rewriting. You should not be rewriting the ENTIRE essay though.
