Homework 4/22/21

Ways to revise

  • Eliminate the introduction and use the first body paragraph as the intro because it introduces the word “loca/o” better and the intro I have now. 
  • In this new intro, I will add a missing piece that I included in the rest of the text which is that the word can be used in a disrespectful way to others.
  • Before wrapping up my writing I will elaborate more on the idea of how the word “loca/o” can be disrespectful to older people.
  • I might change up the title for something different because I want it to get the attention of the reader better than the original one

Homework for Thursday

Hi!

First of all, keep working on Unit 3. Also:

  1. Read THIS handout on how to write a plan for revision. Now, re-read your own Unit One (Portrait of a Word) essay and look at my comments on that essay.
  2. Write a plan for revision (at least 3-4 bullet points, according to the “good revision plan” from the handout) for how you plan to revise Unit One for your final portfolio.  You will not have to do this for a couple of weeks, but it’s good to think ahead! Use category: Unit One Final Paper!! 

Favorite song

One song that I really like right now is 4U by Pierre Bourne. It has a very complex composition, and the production is amazing. The song has so much depth and layers to it, that it is simply an experience just to hear
