Today's Objective:
Students will continue analyzing their research and synthesizing/creating their argument based on factual support 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).
CWoD - ECLECTIC
Continue working on your rough drafts - visit with me if you have problems or questions. Monday remains our target date for getting the rough drafts turned in. If this doesn't seem reasonable for you, and we haven't already discussed it, you need show me what you've accomplished and explain why you'll need additional time. Be sure you are implementing in-text (or parenthetical) citations for information from your sources you are quoting or paraphrasing. However, keep in mind that through your research and through building your argument - YOU are an authority on your subject and YOUR voice needs to be the main part of your writing with your research backing you up.

Again, be sure to visit with me if you have questions or issues - I am good at resolving problems, but horrible at reading minds.
ON MONDAY ... 1st period and 4th periods will be able to meet in a library lab. 2nd and 3rd, as of now, are meeting in the classroom.
