Writing 102 Friday Evening Class

The instructor discussed plagiarism--what it is and how to bring material in the correct way.
After the instructor's presentation, we did a worksheet where students did direct and indirect quotes. There were three ways to do internal text citations.

We added transitions to the research paper.

The drama quiz was given and we corrected the papers in class.

We discussed the poetry readings and the instructor told the students the assignment consisted of:

1. one-page paper on the poet and his/her place in the genre

2. one-page paper of what what you think the poem means

3. find a picture of the poet

4. mp3 or do the reading of the poem yourself

The instructor showed the class the research paper grade scoring sheet. She will email the sheet to students for their use this week and next week they will receive hard copies.

The last item was the Langan check-in.


To do for next class:

conclusions--write in class (lab)
3 more ch's in Langan
Ch 9 plagiarism
work on poetry--show reference at next class
