Thursday, Oct. 9
The instructor handed back the narratives and showed students how to do a corrections sheet based on the errors marked on their paper.
We focused first on comma splices. The instructor handed out a worksheet and first showed students three ways to correct the comma splice. Then the students did the worksheet, locating correct sentences and marking the ones that were comma splices. Finally, the students corrected the comma splices on the worksheet.
Next the instructor wrote up the format for a corrections sheet and showed it to students on the document camera. Students then did their own corrections sheet, documenting their corrections with the Hacker or Langan books.
For next class:
Do the next two chapters in Langan. Come to class with the research you did for the candidates. Students will be writing in class, so the research is essential to complete the work on Tuesday. The worksheet (Divison/Analysis) must be filled out. Also, bring your class notebook and the Langan book so the instruction can check them in.
