TODAY IN CLASS
Frankenstein short assessment over Ch. 4-10; you should be well on your way now through the Creature's story (Chapters 11-17) which is listed on the schedule for tomorrow. Complete your reading of the entire text by Friday.
We got to various points on the revision hand-out. See the next section.
FOR TOMORROW
Yes, continue reading Frankenstein. Continue tracking your topics.
Essay:
- Both your first and second drafts should be on turnitin.com by now, in the appropriate folders. Some people, however, have not done this yet--some with valid reason, others not so much. Either way, the bottom line is that they MUST GET INTO THE FOLDERS. Both have been re-opened to accomodate late-comers.
- The third and final draft is "due" on Thursday, because I wanted you DONE with this. However, Friday papers will not suffer any penalty points. Suit yourself. At this point, you should absolutely be able to work on the second draft in terms of the "Six Strategies" portion of the revision, and the C of CRISP (Cut Words) is really an extension of #5. So you should be able to work on that too.
- Reduce Clauses--we started this in 1st, not at all in 3rd/6th
- In all classes, we'll still look at the ISP parts . . .
- So the process of revision will continue tomorrow night. Some of you, however, will not have very much that really needs to be done, so Thursday remains a perfectly viable deadline for you. For others, as noted above, Friday is OK.
As hard copies: All three drafts plus the peer-response sheet
And the third draft submitted to the Final Draft folder on http://www.turnitin.com/
P.S. Are you remembering that this is a full bore MLA paper? What does that entail? Where can you find it? (Review earlier posts. Consult the Purdue OWL. Look at the samples in the new book. Ask. Ignorance is no excuse.)
