Class Work
1. How did it go with Write Now? Have you started the first diagnostic test? Did you try Write Click? What were the positives? What were the problems? Was your experience a "plus" or a "minus?"
2. Let's go back to the FANBOYS and to the interesting sentences. . . how did you fix them? Get with a partner and compare corrections. I will assign a # to your team. Write your correction on the board.
3. Back to the Body Art papers . . . highlight all of the FANBOYS. Check for independent clauses on both sides of the FANBOY. If you find independent clauses on both sides, place a comma between the first independent clause and the FANBOY
independent clause, FANBOY independent clause
4. Citing Sources: go to http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02 for examples.
5. Also see p.385 and the sample essay on p. 394 in Write Now.
6. Do you have in-text citations in your essay? If not, you need to quote somebody or something!
7. You must also have a Works Cited page. Either use the feature in MyCompLab to create a Works Cited page, or use EasyBib. http://www.easybib.com/
If you use EasyBib, be sure you sign in. Go through all of the steps to get to the Works Cited page in a Word document. If you do not go through all of the "clicks," you run the risk of having "interesting" formatting. If you complete the "clicks," you will have a perfectly formatted page.
Homework
1. Finish your essay. On Tuesday please bring your final copy, at least one draft, and your "rock" paper. Place the final copy on top.
2. Complete Diagnostic Test #1 in MyCompLab. You must purchase the book and code and sign in to do this. Contact me if you have questions.
