03.17 - Paraphasing, Finding Sources

We started today's class off by continuing with the game "The Paraphrase is Right." In class, we reviewed our discussion from yesterday on paraphrasing and then proceeded to play our second round (episode 02).

The Paraphrase is Right 

(directions and episodes 01 and 02)

After playing this game, we reviewed the basic questions that our future research project will seek to answer (see future exploration research questions below). Today, people are continuing to focus on finding sources that provide information on these sections. Everyone will need at least seven sources and an interview (more on that part later) which should be recorded on the future exploration sources sheet (see link below). Everyone had the remaining time in the period to work on finding sources and recording those sources (including why they are reliable) on their source sheet.

If people had found all their sources, they were to work on revisions (due Thurs/Fri) or the set 15 roots and prefix sheets which are due tomorrow.

Pertinent Documents:

Future Exploration research questions

Future Exploration Sources - Model Sheet (how to copy the sheet)

Determining Source Reliability

Citing Websites (bibilography and parenthetical)

Homework:
