TODAY IN CLASS

Two things were stamped: Vocab Unit 13 and the first draft of the essay

We went over vocab--QUIZ ON WEDNESDAY

First draft: the self-edit handout hopefully pointed out any shortcomings in the paper. Don't feel bad if you misunderstood part of the earlier directions; lots of things were coming your way pretty fast. However, you had the original hand-out, plus two additional hand-outs, and if you read all three things should have been pretty clear. In any case, you have two days to fix things up.

HOMEWORK
Review Vocab 13.

Finish the self-edit sheet; start working on revisions.

Remember that the final draft must be in MLA format. The Works Cited (since it's only one work) does NOT have to be on a separate page. Leave extra space, center Works Cited, and write the correct entry for the text we used. Check the Purdue OWL if you don't remember a single-book citation, or look in your Debate Packet for a single-book citation. (Note that many college teachers don't require a Works Cited for single-source papers, especially if you're all using the same edition. But since we're about to do lots of citations, this is good practice.) The first in-text citation can say (Lee 53) or whatever page, but after that, just use the page in ( ) as today's hand-out said to do.
