2. Issues with Grad Papers
Here are some common problems I noted with the grad papers:
You still don't know how to MLA basic things.
Essays that appear to be expository (here’s a problem; let me tell you all about it) and not argumentative (here’s how we can fix it; here’s why my solution is the best).
BPs without citations (plagiarism is no joke).
BPs that are too long (you will lose me).Your ideas can span more than one paragraph; it doesn’t mean you need a new claim for each paragraph.
Grand Canyons of space between paragraphs.

3. Paragraphing in Google Docs
Problems with lots of extra space between your paragraphs, creating a great chasm of emptiness on the bottoms of pages?
Highlight all your text, and make sure it’s written as “Normal text.”

4. Paragraphing in Google Docs
Problems with lots of extra space between your paragraphs, creating a great chasm of emptiness on the bottoms of pages?
Highlight all your text, and make sure it’s written as “Normal text.”
If it already says you’re doing that, then you’ll just need to download your Google Doc as a Word Doc before you submit. Here’s how to fix the widow/orphan control to keep from getting that Grand Canyon at the bottom:

9. And yet, something is off . . . PHRONESIS! (fro-NEE-sis).
11.30/12.1 notes: Phronesis
And yet, something is off . . .
PHRONESIS! (fro-NEE-sis).

10. 11.30/12.1 notes: Phronesis Recall Heinrichs’ example:
NEW PARENT: I’m reading conflicting advice about toilet training. What’s a good age to wean a child from diapers?
Unwise answer: I don’t believe in toilet training, man. Just let it flow.
Even less wise answer: No later than two! No exceptions! Use the potty!
Practically wise answer: Depends on the kid, don’t it? Some kids is potty-smart and some ain’t.
Is this example practically applicable to us? Probably?
STUDENT: I’m wondering how many paragraphs I need for my main points.
Unwise answer: I don’t believe in paragraph requirements. Write what you feel in the moment, man.
Even less wise answer: Exactly three. No more, no less.
Practically wise answer (Garrison’s answer): Well, that depends on the argument. It should be enough to logically support your thesis, credibly establish your voice, and emotionally appeal to your audiences’ best interests.

11. 11.30/12.1 notes: Valid argument
Why am I telling you this?
You’ve got to be aware of the practical logical “heart” of your argument and know that it exists, but, using phronesis, you need to make sure your argument is actually capable of impacting the audience you have intended.
That usually means that you’ve analyzed it. So . . .

12. 11.30/12.1 close: SOAPS analysis review
You’ll recall what a SOAPS analysis is, right? 
It’s the basic tool for analyzing any piece of rhetoric.
It can even be used to analyze . . .
Your Emerson argumentation FRQ. If your FRQ is so poopy you can’t, then try it on your grad paper.

13. 12.4/12.5 notes: grad paper graphics
A few notes:
Label the graph.
EX: “Figure 1: Obese children under the age of 2.”

14. 12.4/12.5 notes: grad paper graphics
2. Underneath the graph, put your source. This does not need to be the whole works cited entry.
If, for example (oh! exemplification you say! yes please!), this is my Works Cited entry:
Gleick, James. Chaos: Making a New Science. New York: Penguin, Print.
Underneath my graphic, I can put “Source: James Gleick.”

15. 12.4/12.5 notes: grade paper graphics
COLOR! HOORAY!
3. Make sure it’s bright, colorful, easy to read, and everything is labeled!
I bet it would’ve been hard to tell the difference between those #s! THX for writing them in!
Man! I can read that!

16. 12.4/12.5 notes: grad paper graphics
Regardless of size or amount, the graphic(s) counts as ½ page.
Don’t text wrap. It never turns out well. I recommend putting that thing on the last page.
Reference the graphic in your paper. So, for example . . .
“Animal experimentation on cats has been on the rise since 1990 (see Figure 1 on page 10).”
COLOR!!! BIG!!! LEGIBLE!!! EFFORT!!! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!
Ok! I’ll totally go there to see that graph you made!
Oh no! What happened? That doesn’t look like MLA format to me. You totally should’ve put that graph on the last page of your essay, man.

17. 12.4/12.5 activity: grad paper graphics gallery walk
Did you internalize what I told you? Did you take notes so you know you’re doing it right?
Around the room are ten graphics from student papers.
They are of various quality.
Choose five of them to study. Write down some notes, general impressions, and a score you’d give it (1, 2, 3, or 4 – based on the grad paper rubric).
At the end of about ten minutes (that’s 2 minutes per graphic), we’ll review and discuss what the students did well here and what they did poorly.

18. 12.4/12.5 activity: Argumentation FRQ practice
This sounds like fun!
Read the prompt. (2015, “polite speech” FRQ.)
Create an outline.
You know what I want your outline to look like at this point, right?
You’ll have ten minutes to outline. Presumably, that gives you 30 minutes to write your essay which should be plenty of time.

21. 12.4/12.5 activity: Argumentation FRQ practice
Finally, let’s read and score an essay written for this prompt.
This essay develops the position that polite speech can create a pleasant social mood; indicate to others that “one is not stuck-up”; and be a way to show respect. The evidence and explanations are limited; for example, to support the claim that polite speech shows respect, the essay simply repeats an earlier point made to show polite speech creates a nice atmosphere. How polite speech functions to demonstrate respect is not explained or developed [by zombies]. The essay develops its position unevenly. Toward the end, the student launches into a discussion of how “rudeness is socially unacceptable” and how “great things happen” when you’re totally not a jerk. Neither of these points focuses upon the prompt, which asks students to consider the value and function of polite speech.
Score?

22. 12.4/12.5 close: Argumentation FRQ practice
THESIS: “Polite speech is what enables those who use it to obtain what they want in a society free from pressures other than simple desire to do something. Polite speech lends respectability to events and interactions.”
CLAM 1: “For example, polite speech is an expectation in an environment like school.”
CLAM 2: “A common platform for polite speech is also when important public figures such as politicians conduct ceremonies and must make celebratory addresses.”
CLAM 3: “Lastly, polite speech makes frequent appearances in the language of those working in service to the law such as judges and lawyers and court officers and a whole bunch of other rocking dudes.”
