Wednesday: 2/20 Writing Workshops and Write Part 3

Announcements

• SPAM 2 is due Thursday at 3:30 pm.
• How to format your paper in MLA style (bookmark this)

Starter

• Go to WRITING WORKSHOPS AND RESOURCES section of the Phase 3 portion of the Senior Project page.
• Check out the titles of the various documents provided here to support you in writing beautifully and skillfully.
• Decide which documents you think you'll need to refer to the most based on your writing needs.
• Select ONE of those.
• Take a few minutes to read over that resource.
• Tell your neighbor one thing you learned from that document and give it a YELP review.

Writing Workshop #1: In Text Citations  (linked on Senior Project page)
Again, all students must use in-text citations whenever they quote or paraphrase.  At this point we're not going to practice.  I will do a quick review, and then I am going to refuse to answer any questions that are covered on the handout or easily searchable on Purdue OWL.

Writing Workshop #2: Setting up Quotations (linked Senior Project page)
All students are expected to set up and follow up their quotations throughout their senior thesis.  Given the prevalence of errors here, we are ALL going to practice this together before we go into Part 3, which is the part of your paper with significant citations and quotes.

Outline Conferences

• I have graded most outlines and provided feedback.  If you have questions on my feedback, feel free to conference with me. I will conference today with those students for whom I haven't  had a chance to provide feedback, which include the following:

1. Morning Pod: Ari, Sammy (SPAM 2), Lance (SPAM 2), Lydia (SPAM 2)
2. Afternoon Pod: Henry, Tanner, Ryan, Amanda (SPAM 2), Josie, Sadie- workshop #2

Today's Writing Goals

• Begin writing Part 3 ​ (aim to be DONE with Part 3 by Friday, that way you can just write Part 4, over the weekend and do some last minute refinements in class Monday to be ready with a solid rough draft for the rough draft deadline and peer critique on 2/26)

HOMEWORK:
Write one paragraph of your senior thesis!
