Note: for our upcoming class on the 22nd, we will be going to from the classroom to the L112 lab at 6:30. We are booked until 8:15 p.m. We will be working on our new essay assignment.
The instructor returned the essay assignment with the grade. She also gave students a corrections sheet and the class spent about 30" working on corrections from the paper. Students had to note what the error was, how they did it wrong, and how to do it right. Students were asked to fill the corrections sheet, which was about 15-18 errors.
The instructor pointed out that while the essays do not have to be revised, if they were to be revised, student would see a direction in which they could take the revised essay.
Next we worked on MLA citation and students learned how to do a TV citation. Students were given a worksheet and we did two citations. The instructor also explained how to do an in-text citation.
We did a comma worksheet together and learned about introductory clauses, appositives, and other comma rules.
In the last section of class, we did a few exercises from each section of Ch. 4. The purpose of the exercise was to make sure students understood what was expected in each section.
Next week will be the midterm, which will be held during the last hour of class. Students with perfect attendance and no late papers or late arrivals do not have to take the final and may leave at 8 p.m. Questions on the midterms will be from the chapters, instructor notes, exercises done in class, and what has been covered on citation to date.
To Do for Next Class:
Do exercises in Ch. 4. Twenty points will be given to all students who complete the assignment.
Add the two video citations to the MLA Works Cited that was started last week. Note that the citations have to be added alphabetically. Ten points will be given for each correctly completed Works Cited. Bring one printed out copy to class.
