Thoughts on this clip and news story
Vocab
Verb Tenses
* In groups of two or three, write a short paragraph/narrative/story that uses at least 6 of these tenses. This needs to, therefore, be at least 6 sentences long. Don't try to get too fancy- your sentences must be grammatically correct. Your group will share these with the class.
Workshop Second Rough Draft
* Pass your draft around to your group members.* Read out loud a draft that is not yours.
* Listeners: Listen carefully to the draft. Make notes on the draft where you detect grammar errors. Also, make note where you are confused by something. Make notes about places where you need more information or detail.
* Once the draft has been read out loud, discuss the paper and ways it could be made stronger in a group.
* Discuss the changes that were made between the first and second draft.
* Repeat this for each group member.
APA Format
Formatting the pages
* 12 point font* double spaced
* name
* page numbers
* title
Option 1:
Option 2:
Basic in-text citations
* Ordinarily, introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes
the author’s last name followed by the year of publication
in parentheses. Put the page number preceded by "p."
(or "pp." for more than one page) in parentheses after the quotation.
* If the author is not named in the signal phrase, place the author’s name, the year, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation: (Critser, 2003, p. 5).
* Follow this basic format for summaries and paraphrases, as well.
* If the author is unknown, mention the work’s title in the signal phrase or give the first word or two of the title in the parenthetical citation. Titles of articles and chapters are put in quotation marks; titles of books and reports are italicized.
List of References
* See the handout that I passed out weeks ago.* Alphabetize entries in the list of references by authors’ last names; if a work has no author, alphabetize it by its title.
* The first element of each entry is important because citations in the text of the paper refer to it and readers will be looking for it in the alphabetized list.
* The date of publication appears immediately after the first element of the citation.
* In APA style, titles of books are italicized; titles of articles are neither italicized nor put in quotation marks.

Monday, December 2
* Final paper due at the beginning of class. Bring 1 printed copy of your final paper. You will not be allowed to turn it in after the class has begun.
* Final presentations to the class.
- First, you will need to spend some time discussing how you choose this topic. Why did this problem interest you? Once you have explained WHY you were initially interested in this problem, you need to actually present the situation to us. Outline what you found to be the problem, either locally or more globally. Discuss your most relevant research. Also, share with us your proposal and overall conclusion.
- This should be prepared, planned and rehearsed. Know what you are going to say before you walk into our classroom. Project - let us hear your lovely voice.
- You may use visuals, notes, drawings, song and dance...anything you would like to get your point across.
- Spend 8-10 minutes presenting and be prepared for questions and feedback from the class.
