Homework Reminder

Homework: We're getting through the starts of our essays! It is important to come to class and keep on task! This Essay will be due by the end of the week!

Due tonight, Monday by midnight: A Summary, Paraphrase and Direct Quote for each of your articles posted to your personal blog! Titled it MY NOTES. You've got summaries available to you already, right? I'm totally cool with you pulling these from your SQRs and the summaries you've done over the weekend. What's a summary, paraphrase and direct quote:


Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.

Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.

Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material. (OWL Purdue)

Due Tuesday at mid night posted to Class Blog: Intro (150 words) + Lit Review (250+ words). Your lit review is more than your explanation of others ideas, although you can begin by simply writing about other's ideas. I want you to evolve this piece into explaining not simply their ideas but how you are using them with your ideas as well.

Due Friday at Midnight, posted as a comment to your original SQR: your revised SQR 1, addressing the questions and concerns I commented with You can jump a grade here! For those of you missing SQR 1, this is your last chance to make it up! Go ahead and post it up, entitled SQR 1: LATE, to your personal blog by Friday Midnight!


Just in case you can't make it in to the workshop, though you should have! Here a pictures of the info that was on the board: This all needs to be completed and posted tonight! I will bring in grades tomorrow.
