How will I represent my thoughts and research in academic writing?
Who am I as a writer?
DO NOW: Organize all materials, intentions, and tabs for writing.
- By 11:00am, each person should have one body paragraph drafted.
- Share out specific intentions for which paragraph and its purpose at the beginning of the period.
- Revisit yesterday's accountability and reminders if necessary.
STUDIO WRITING: Draft your paper.
11:00am - MINI WORKSHOP: Each person should identify one body paragraph to share with the group. This paragraph should be copied into a new document in the folder and titled "Research Paper Body Paragraph Mini-Workshop."
- At the top of the page write a purpose statement for the paragraph. (See outline for examples.)
- Paste the paragraph below the purpose statement in the same document.
- Close all other tabs, so that this is the only thing open on each Chromebook.
- Each person should view two other paragraphs, leaving a Think>Puzzle>Explore as feedback on a piece of paper or post it notes.
THINK: What do you think is valuable in this paragraph? What do you think serves as evidence? How well do you think the evidence and explanation support the purpose of the paragraph?
PUZZLE: What questions does the paragraph raise about the topic? What questions do you have about the paragraph its self? What parts or phrases are unclear?
EXPLORE: What suggestions do you have for this writer as they explore further into their topic in later paragraphs? What revisions would you suggest for this paragraph?
