2. Today’s Agenda: all writing will be done in class
Review reminders for essays—no new information(helpful for next draft)
Review errors 7th LA teachers have seen in outlines
Review what to do with the next draft: if we only copy exactly what is on the outline, our writing will not change…
Time to begin revising 1st body paragraph –
Collecting all writing
Read aloud some fellow students’ hooks and debate sentences for introduction paragraphs

3. Add more Notes to mla
Your claim must use the L.E.Q. –Language of the essential question from sirs
Your articles must have quotes “ Title” --capitalize correctly
Your citations cannot have a page number if you used the online source
The author’s last name goes in the parenthesis (author’s last name). If there is no author, then the title should going in the (“Title”). If you use the title and/or author’s name in the lead-in, you do not need to “redo”
Period goes on the outside of the parenthesis (if not parenthesis, the period goes inside the quotes)
You cannot have ‘no author’ or ‘No page #’ in the parenthesis! It does not make your audience feel your evidence is credible…

4. Other notes from OUTLINE FEEDBACK
What I’ve noticed so far:
No _____________ _________ around article titles.
Evidence does not clearly support ___________________ or comes from one article.
Commentary is just restating the ____________________ or does not connect to reason/claim. It does not explain why it matters.
Also, sometimes _____________________ is just more evidence.
___________________ is insufficient or does not mention the controversy/debate around the topic.
Repetitive or confusing _________ - ins.
Counter-argument ___________________ is structured incorrectly.
Boring, snore-fest _____________________ and __________________.

5. Page 1 –only do last name 1 —turn over
When you write your body paragraphs, do NOT just copy what is there.
Read the sentence– revise as needed BEFORE you write it.
This is your 2nd “rough draft,” which means it should be ready for grading----LEGIBLE—LEGIBLE---LEGIBLE (not the time to rush)
Skip lines
Remember : no writing outside of classroom
I will be collecting essays by number 10 minutes before class, and I will read aloud some of the introduction paragraphs!
