Monday, October 9 ~ Rough Drafts Due!

Image result for mandela quotes

Before we begin the peer-editing process, here are a couple of helps:

Peer Editing Check list:
  • Heading, header & title
  • Intro paragraph- Interesting hook? Clear thesis?
  • Body paragraphs- TIED structure? organized with topic sentences that match thesis?
  • Sweet critical thinking? Could this paper be more interesting or better proven?
  • Evidence-Is every quote relevant and powerfully used? Correctly cited in the text? 
  • Conclusion- Is this essay well resolved? Is there a meaningful end beyond the summary? (Could do a call to action or a bridge to something today.)
  • Are these citations up to speed with MLA format? Are the alphabetized by first letter? Drop indented? 
HW: Polish and print this beast! It is due tomorrow as a hard copy. (If your world has been rocked by this new no-printing life, email me a copy as a pdf or shared google doc.)
