Monday, Monday ... 2/23

Objectives - students will edit and revise rough drafts according to MLA rules regarding formatting and documentation of quotes, paraphrases, and summaries within the text.  Students will focus on typical problem areas for student research writings and on peer evaluation and feedback on their work.

CWoD - KIBOSH


Once you have completed the revision activities and peer review, reread your own paper and note any final revisions you see necessary to make. DOUBLE CHECK ALL IN-TEXT CITATIONS - IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY, YOU MUST HAVE THEM OR YOU ARE GUILTY OF PLAGIARISM. 

Once you are satisfied with your work, open your original rough draft in Google Docs and run a spell check.. Double check any possible errant spelling(s). 

Then begin making changes to the electronic version to create your final draft. ALL PARTS OF THE EDITING AND REVISING PROCESS MUST BE COMPLETED FIRST. 

The completed Final Draft is due on Thursday - printed and in my hand - along with the rough draft showing all revision/editing that was performed as well as the peer review info from Friday (keep in mind that completing that part of the process is a major grade in and of itself).

Be sure to review the grading rubric before and as you work.
