1 Peer Proofreading of Cause/Effect Essay
You need TWO printouts of your second draft! Run to YBOR 303b to print!

2 TONIGHT’S HOMEWORK Begin finalizing cause-effect essay (due next Thurs.), read LBCH sections 12 & 35a-b (pp & ), submit Grammar #5 (S-V agreement) on Canvas, submit 225- to 275-word, one-paragraph self-assessment of definition essay on Canvas, AND complete midterm-exam review handout

3 Every time you use someone else’s WORD(s), you need THREE things:
1. Quotation marks 2. A parenthetical citation 3. A corresponding listing on the works cited page (Each source is listed only once, no matter how many parenthetical citations it has.) Every time you use someone else’s IDEA(s), you need TWO things: 1. A parenthetical citation 2. A corresponding listing on the works cited page

4 Three Ways to Get a Quote into a Sentence Without Floating
Pronoun Case (Grammar #9) and Checking the Comparison-Contrast Outline Three Ways to Get a Quote into a Sentence Without Floating Make it part of the grammar of your sentence: With Brown v. Board of Education, “[a]n irreversible shift had begun” (Williams 21). Add a source phrase and a comma, and ID the source: Historian and commentator Juan Williams writes, “An irreversible shift had begun” (21). “An irreversible shift had begun,” writes historian and commentator Juan Williams (21). Add a colon: With Brown v. Board, America changed: “An irreversible shift had begun” (Williams 21).

5 USING A QUOTE IN YOUR ESSAY:
When people think of a man, they generally think of “an adult male human being” (“man, n.1”). However, some think they have to “[b]e stupid, be unfeeling, obedient and soldierly, and stop thinking” to be manly (Theroux, par. 2). Put the words you have borrowed in quotation marks and include the author’s last name and page number in parentheses after the quote. Then you will also need a works-cited page. (See the next slide, page 6 of the syllabus, and the MLA section of LBCH.)

6 Works Cited “man, n.1 (and int.).” OED Online, Oxford University Press, March 2016, Theroux, Paul. “The Male Myth.” The New York Times, Sunday, Late City Final Edition, 27 Nov. 1983, p LexisNexis Academic, getDocCui?lni=3S8G-HPY Y1KC&csi=270944,270077,11059, 8411&hl=t&hv=t&hnsd=f&hns=t&hgn=t&oc=00240&perma=true. The works-cited page should be on its own page (insert a page break in Word), double-spaced, use a hanging indentation (so the first line sticks out to the left), and include only works actually cited in the essay. If it has more than one source listed, the sources should be alphabetized. (See also page 6 of the syllabus and the MLA section of LBCH.)

7 Peer Proofreading of Cause/Effect Essay
Now, staple the proofreading form to the top of your two printouts and write your name on both. Then trade your essays with any two classmates. Get their names. If you finish before time is called, trade again. When time is called, return the papers to their writers. Take yours home, make corrections, and submit your final essay on Canvas by Feb. 28 (next Tuesday). Gather all your hard copies (maybe prewriting, outline, first draft with group-discussion form and comments, ASC tutors’ slips, and today’s two proofread printouts) to submit at our Feb. 28 class.

8 In-Class Extra Credit:
Find AND FIX the following comments. Call me over to record your points. You’ll get ONE point each for a maximum TEN points. Subject-verb agreement errors (s  no s ] Verb-tense problems [past tense instead of present tense or unnecessary verb-tense shifts] Quotation and citation errors (missing quotation marks, missing parenthetical citations, missing a works-cited page] First- or second-person pronouns (I, me, my, mine, myself, we, us, our, ours, ourselves, you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves]
