A WORD ABOUT WEEK 13

I’m going to flip-flop Projects 4 & 5 on the schedule.

We’ll be starting Project 5 (the book trailer) first and finishing the semester with Project 4 (the revisionary essay).

Next week while I’m away, you’ll be able to work at your own pace in the planning stages of the book trailer.

You’ll have a couple of benchmarks you’ll need to meet so that we’re all ready to go next week.

FLIPPY FLOPPIES: PROJECTS 4 & 5

PEER REVIEW: PROJECT 3

• As before, Peer Review will happen in MSU Google Docs. If you have a hard copy of your paper, I’ll come around and take it.

• Everyone will have their own peer review worksheet to fill out as before.

• Make sure to put your papers in your group folders, which are located inside the “Project3_ROUGHDRAFTS” folder.

DO THIS RIGHT NOW

In the Project3_ROUGH_DRAFTS folder, find your peer review group subfolder

Put your paper into that subfolder. MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN YOUR PEER REVIEW GROUP CAN ACCESS YOUR PAPER.

As before, there are prizes!

Paraphrase, my dog.

Summary! You are wonderful!

ROUND 3: PARAPHRASE AND SUMMARY

You’ll work inside MSU Google Docs (in the “MLA Idol March 30” folder) for easier sharing and presenting.

Each team will be assigned a different highlighted selection from a specific source.

Please do use your McGraw-Hill Handbook to help you. You should also consider using the Purdue OWL: http://owl.english.purdue.edu

ROUND 3: PARAPHRASE AND SUMMARY

To Qualify, Your Presentation MUST:

1. Identify your source and give some context. Make sure to give your audience a general idea of what the article is about.

2. Provide a correct AND incorrect example of a paraphrase of the selection. Tell why each is correct and incorrect, noting the differences.

3. Provide a correct AND incorrect example of a summary of the selection. Tell why each is correct and incorrect, noting the differences.

4. Use proper MLA citation and format!

ROUND 3: PARAPHRASE AND SUMMARY

General Guidelines: MAXIMUM of 4 slides. Clearly explain WHY your

paraphrases/summaries are correct and incorrect. Your classmates are counting on you!

Put your names on the presentations. Save your presentations as

“TeamNamePresentation”
