Happy Thursday!

Class Work

1. Please have a paper copy of your Body Art essay ready to share either electronically or on paper.
2. First, at your table, read your conclusion to the other students. Students, listen and decide if the message is clear. A good conclusion wraps things up or moves one to action. See pp. 425-426 in Write Now. Also see: http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/acadwrite/conclude.html
3. Provide praise and suggestions!

Pause...are there any questions about in-text citations? Here is a quick review: http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/resdoc5e/RES5e_ch08_s1-0001.html

4. Now, swap places with another student who is NOT at your table.
5. Read through the paper and look for the in-text citations. Highlight each. Look at the Works Cited page to see if you could find the entry. Also, make sure that the end punctuation for each in-text citation is OUTSIDE of the entry. Note changes that may be needed.
6. Comment on the content. Did the writer make a point? Was the message clear? Was a personal example included? Were enough experts cited? Did the writer help you to understand?

Homework: Polish, revise, and post the final copy of the Body Art essay in MyCompLab. Include the Works Cited page. (100 pts.) This is due before our next class on March 19th.

Now, let's just write.... This activity is designed to help you with fluency. Don't think too hard - just respond in writing.

If you missed class, send me an e-mail and I will send you the activity.
