Presentation transcript:

Idea Book Formatting: Provide a full heading each entry (top left) that includes: Full name Assigning Teacher’s Name Course Date Create a header that shows your last name and page number (top right) Insert a text box to the right of your heading that includes the prompt. You may abbreviate prompts down to 1-2 sentences, but not down to phrases. Single space all entries (this is our only MLA violation – helps us fit all entries for the year in one binder) DON’T skip any lines between paragraphs unless you have been asked to create a formal business letter DO indent paragraphs using the tab key (not the space bar)

Formatting/Proofreading Reminders DO skip a line between the title (which should be original and creative) and your response. Only use “I” if you’re telling a personal story from your past (and do that rarely, with purpose). Remove all phrases like “I believe,” “I think,” “I feel,” “In my opinion.” The word “we” is a form of 1 st person – use it very rarely, if at all. Combine sentences using correct punctuation: – Semicolons connect two independent clauses; colons introduce key phrases or lists and mean “that is…” If you researched any information, use parenthetical documentation within the piece AND include a works cited entry on a separate page following each Idea Book entry. A copy/pasted website address will not be accepted.

Sections of the Binder At the beginning of each collection (representing a full set of six entries), include a Table of Contents that lists your title, the assigning course, and a page number. Behind your final IB entries, include a tab that says “drafts,” and include your earlier versions. These will likely include revision/proofreading marks from writing lessons/peer revisions conducted in class. If your teacher stamps drafts, include that version in the binder.

Say Farewell To… “a lot” – too pedestrian, too vague, used too often! Rhetorical questions at the beginning of an Idea Book entry (Do you really think they’re working? Have you ever been intrigued by a questioning opening?) 2 nd person/ “you” (You should see the example above if you want to know why your journal is annoying your readers.) “Well,….” “Now, ….” Unless you’re writing about a “well” that you’re digging “now,” these words are weak transition phrases. Referring directly to the prompt (“I disagree because...,” “The prompt asked us to…,” “The article said,” “this quote.”)

Revision Reminders Spend more time on introductions (grabbing the reader’s attention and drawing them further into your piece) and conclusions (re- stating the thesis and driving the point home). Try to hook ideas from the end of one paragraph to the beginning of the next to form stronger transitions.
