Addie is meeting with all freshmen and year-long students names M-Z in the cafeteria today to discuss extended annotated bibliographies.
REMINDERS
- Even if you have gotten feedback from Addie, all new reading and research should be added to your Annotated Bibliography throughout your project.
- Formal writing components are DUE on Friday, October 21, 2016. You should setup a writer’s conference with Addie to discuss your essay before this date.
- YEAR-LONGS should have their panels scheduled and Addie should be present at your meeting. Please remember you are still required to complete all writing components by deadlines stated above.
GUIDING QUESTIONS
- Who are we as a community of thinkers, researchers, and innovators?
- How does the world work?
- How do the needs of my community and audience influence my research?
OBJECTIVES:
- Disciplinary groups will continue to grow as a community of wonderers and project managers.
- Students will engage in academic research and writing.
- Students will reflect on their experience and approach to research, identifying specific next steps.
- Students will organize and create their essays by thinking about how we support our thinking in the writing process.
DO NOW:
- Read through the current draft of your research paper. Highlight all words that would be considered unique to the discipline or content you are discussing in your paper.
- Make a plan for how you will add more authentic terminology within your writing for today, especially the definition section.
DO NEXT:
- Reread your current draft. On a separate sheet of paper or sticky note, document:
- 1 word that captures the essence of your argument
- 1 phrase that adds dimension to a sentence
- 1 sentence that you are most proud of because of what it adds to your paper
- Share out with the group
STUDIO TIME WRITING:
- Today is the day to write. Set an intention for your writing period, find a distraction-free space, and let your words flow.
- DRAFTING AND REVISION: Self-reflection questions to consider during the writing process:
- Have I constructed an argument or am I merely summarizing the topic?
- Do I have sufficient evidence that supports my ideas rather than summarizes them?
- Does my writing include a SO WHAT in which I identify the intent of my essay and what I want my audience to do with this the information presented in it?
REFLECTION:
- What did you accomplish and complete today during studio time?
- What are your next steps tonight for Home Learning and tomorrow for IDEAS Block?
