We discussed plagiarism and the instructor went through a Powerpoint.
Students handed in their two pages of research paper and their two pages of the poetry explication/criticism paper. The instructor read the papers and returned them while students read two papers which the instructor passed out: "Good Hair" and "Luck." After reading the papers, the class discussed them.
Students received class participation points for turning in the above two assignments.
To do for next week:
Research paper: point 2. Turn in both points 1 and 2 with internal text citations and a Works Cited.
Poetry paper: turn in two pages of the explication combined with literary criticism or research turned up on the literary databases or through other internet research. Needs internal text citations and a Works Cited.
