June 13

Today, we completed a writing into the day about our processes for writing with the Discourse Communities Comparison (See PowerPoint slide 87).  In our workshop groups, we discussed each group member's paper.  We followed the structure we discussed previously (see slide 46 on the PowerPoint) and answered the following topics:

Required Discussion Topics

1. Author's concerns
2. MLA format (header, heading, spacing, font)
3. Use of third person ONLY
4. Read assignment description
• Did the writer meet all of the requirements?

If required topics are completed, move on to optional discussion questions (see PowerPoint slide 88).

Homework:

• Post a workshop reflection
• Post a daybook reflection
• Read Research Essay assignment description
• Start thinking about a research topic
• Bring “Evaluating Sources” (on Moodle) on Monday

* The second draft of the Discourse Communities Comparison is now due on Tuesday.
