Period: 3
Wuddupppp Abbyyyyy
1. First, we did 'Musical Chairs' peer editing for our body paragraph. Basically, we switched desks and edited the body's while listening to music. The steps a person took to check were:
1) Comment/Annotate- Topic Sentence to make sure that the body paragraph matched and made sense with the topic sentence.
2) Made sure they had an argumentative flow. You basically make sure they show that they understand the other part of the topic, the opposing side. The rebuttal.
3) You make sure they have Lead-In's and Lead-Out's.
4) Your looking at mechanics, grammar, and in-text citations if they are there or not. For example, if you want to give an in-text citation, you would do it like this:
1,098,748,479 teacher's in the world get underpaid (J. Brown) The J. Brown part is the author who published the facts in a article/book/magazine/wiki, Ext.
Then we read the feedback. If you were not here on this day, I recommend you do get someone to edit your paper, and check for the things above.
2) Second, we all turned in our body paragraphs and looked at them on the big screen and did some ore peer editing. This was helpful because we gave the person helpful criticism, and made sure they had the appropriate steps in order to have your body paragraph flow.
POINTS MADE BY MS. HANCOCK.
*Be sure your leads in go in nicely and flow
*Your topic sentence has to make sense to be able to have your point made.
*The Rebuttal is really important, its what makes you sound like an expert:)
3) We had about 15-20 minutes to edit our paragraphs based on the helpful peer editing. Keep in mind, you do NOT have to use anything they give you. But just keep in consideration that it is taken differently depending on the audience of whom you are trying to point your topic to. Or if you are done editing, you can start on your second body paragraph, which will be due Tuesday!!
HOMEWORK(:
Finish revising body paragraph, and find more research if needed. Ms. Hancock will not be checking any homework on Friday.
