Hi  Class,

Please note new link and details on the right sidebar.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan

Hi Class,

Today we will:

-Freewrite

-Discuss the format for the RAB, which is due on Wednesday

Format for Unit 2

-Discuss the conclusion and perform a brief peer review

-One-on-one help

HOMEWORK: The Final Draft of the Reflective Annotated Bibliography is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday. Edit and proofread your project with care. I advise each student to ask at least one person read their work before turning it in. Bring a printed copy of the final draft and all process work (peer reviews and earlier drafts). Participation points will be awarded for having this project ready to hand in to me at the beginning of class.

Interview Style Peer Review for RAB Conclusion: April 4, 2022

Writer:

Reviewer:

1—Title? If you don’t have a title for your RAB, then create one now.

2—What was surprising?

3—How did your ideas of this topic change as you learned more?

3—What did you learn that you want others to learn?

4—If you had another week or two to work on this project, what type of source would you want to read/research?

5—Who should learn about this topic?

6—What was your strongest source and why?

Proofreading Advice:

Sorry class, I know some students wanted one-on-one help today.

Seems I have a cold of some sort (I’m testing for Covid every day, and so far I’m negative). It hurts to too much to talk for an hour.

Please email your questions, and I’ll do my best to respond quickly.

Cheers,

Prof. Scanlan
