Today's Objective:
Students will continue to gather, analyze, paraphrase, etc. relevant information for their research paper. (English IV - Argument Paper Over a Controversial Issue ... College Prep English - Literary Analysis of Poetry). Students will document source information in MLA format and will gather research on both sides of the issue (or, in the case of the college prep class, the literature being compared/contrasted in the analysis). Students will begin creating a working outline for their paper and will share the document electronically.
Today's CWoD is EXTRICATE
In addition to continuing your research, you will need to begin drafting your initial outline - even without having your research complete, you should have enough to begin putting this "blueprint" for your paper together. This is not a final outline at this point - it is a work in progress. However, we will need something in place to begin rough drafting. Create the outline in a Google Doc and be sure to SHARE it with me (Richard.Davis@sfisd.org) to receive credit for your work.
We will meet in one of the library labs the rest of the week - but you will have access to everything on your Google Docs in there (just like you do from ANY device that can access the internet).
The guide for producing your outline is on my assignments page and can also be found here:

**Remember, you need AT LEAST 5 sources and AT LEAST 40 notes for this paper. We have found at least that many in class AND the info on Mary LaCue Booker on p. 256 of Real Writing may serve as an additional source - use the Citation Machine to locate the MLA Citation Info on this book.**
Some of you have already shown me a working outline - and even if it is of a different structure, that's acceptable. The guide is merely that - a guide. There are a lot of ways to accomplish the same thing. Just be sure to follow the correct format for an outline as this will make it easier when you go back to finalize the formal outline before beginning the final draft. Your working outline is due by Friday.
