  1. WU Tech 1. Check your googledocs to see graded assignments 2. Check your grades 3. Continue working on your assignments --resumes, --ethics, --video (srs) 4. I will go over some writing things at 12:20 then you can continue working

  2. COMP 101 READING REVIEW Pg 36-55--Critical Thinking (focus on Ethos, Pathos, Logos) --Analysis—break into parts (cost, community) --Synthesis—combine information in your own way --Evaluate—judge what is best for you EVIDENCE—your opinion is not evidence. • Your opinion isn’t valid until you prove its validity • Call people and admissions people

  3. Pg 36-55--Critical Thinking (focus on Ethos, Pathos, Logos) • LOGOS—appeal to mind (logic), facts--COST • PATHOS—emotion—HAPPINESS • ETHOS—audience ethics—AUTHOR CRED

  4. Pg 658-674--Working With Sources • Keep a list of sources (APA style on pg 661) • Paraphrasing strategies—pg 671 Pg 697-704--Evaluating Sources--Review—need to know it

  5. Pg 705-716--Citing Sources, Quoting, Paraphrasing • Pg 706—3rd row and 4th row • When you start writing use this section to make sure you quote right. • Basically just write without using research THEN throw it in where it backs up your opinion

  6. Going in the Deep End (Starting the Plan) • Get out 4 pieces of notebook paper 2. Write out the headings for your report on a separate sheet of paper (1 heading/page) 3. Fill in your own thoughts underneath 4. Tape or rewrite notes onto that page

  7. CHARTS and GRAPHS • Use with anything that is numbered • Cost • Student/teacher ration • Use with anything visual • campus, • Location • Use color and shading to separate material • Look at charts in the book for examples

  8. OUTLINE ASSIGNMENT • You now have a basic plan • You may want to redo it and make it neater or easier to understand • HW—Outlines due next class

  9. Edit Outlines • Where does the person appeal to logic? • Emotion? • How do they show credibility? • Are charts easy to understand • Anything that needs a graphic that they haven’t created • Evaluation clear?—if not at this stage that’s fine.

  10. WRITING TIPS BEFORE DRAFTING • Active vs Passive • Paramedic method will help (wait 5 minutes) • Avoid This and That—they are unclear and lead to serious confusion & miscommunication • Use citations in your draft (and outline) • Coulter pass out APA cheat sheet • Use the owl website • Use your book

  11. Paramedic Method—How to Write Clearly • Circle the prepositions 2. Circle the forms of “is”: Is, am, am be, been 3. As “who is kicking who?” (Subject verb) • Put the “kicking” action in a simple active verb • Check your answer—count the number of original words and then double check that you have fewer than you began with. (good to shoot for a minimum of ¼ shorter if not more while still retaining the meaning)

  12. Paramedic Method Practice We are in urgent need of people to volunteer for the telefund on 19 of February. The appearance of the candidate before the board was on June 30. The governor’s refusal of the request is necessary. Early childhood thought disorder misdiagnosis often occurs as a result of unfamiliarity with recent research literature describing such conditions.

  13. Draft #1 • Don’t worry about perfect writing in your first draft—just write from our outline • When you self-edit then check for clarity, passive voice, this/that, etc. • For draft #1 • Write your information • Have and APA bibliography • Have basic charts ready to go • Make it look like APA report format • Sample #1 • Sample #2 • Sample #3—best for you

  14. Draft #2/3 • You’ll add an abstract (fancy word for summary) • You’ll add a title page • You should have a conclusions section (pretty long) • References page complete • In text citations
