The instructor reviewed what happened in the last class and then showed students a method for doing citations online. It was necessary to show this because too many students were unable to get into the text website, where the software to do citations is located. Two methods were shown:
a) copy a citation using "OWL APA newspaper citation," copying and pasting a model, and then doing the citation directly underneath
b) go to NoodleTools
also:
c) use a citation manual (preferred method)
Next we went over the reading schedule. The instructor put in on the doc cam and pointed out to students a "pages per day" feature of the schedule.
We then went did two-minute paired introductions.
The instructor took attendance and checked in three-ring notebooks, dividers, and book orders. If students had both, they received a total of 6 points.
After the intros, the instructor asked the 7-8 new students to stay so she could bring them up to date.
