I left the topic, necessary tips, and work sites for you. Regarding the work sites, I must say that I copied all the items for you because you do not have access to them.
Read the first draft assignment carefully! Read and re-read the assignment for the entire paper: This Module refers to the FIRST DRAFT. The final draft is more developed — READ.
Writing is a process.
Writing is rewriting.
With those ideas in mind, you will upload the FIRST DRAFT of the Informative Essay by the end of the week. We have chosen topics. We have worked on a thesis (narrowing your subject to something you can handle well in 1,200 words). It is now time to WRITE the paper. I will give you points for uploading and following directions. I am not your editor, so do not expect notes and corrections on the first draft. Get help on grammar and citing from a tutor!
Your sources are one eBook from the school databases and one website. (For the final draft next week, not using an eBook found through the school library databases will mean the paper gets a ZERO.) You don’t understand how to find eBooks? Talk to the tutors. Talk to the Librarians. Come to our Zoom meeting. (I do not teach through email.)
A first draft has a beginning, a middle, and an end. It is around 1,200 words, not including the Works Cited page. (Next week you should rewrite and make it better.)
For the first draft, you will do the following:
1 You will quote or paraphrase from your sources, but for this assignment, you are allowed to use a “signal phrase” to introduce a quote. Remember, paraphrases are YOUR words, but they get cited just like a quote.
2 At the end of the first draft, you will have a Work(s) Cited page to correspond to any in-text citation(s) in the paper (Points off for not doing so.)
You have to be proactive and responsible for learning, understanding, and following the rules of MLA. We have looked at Owl Purdue in class many times. It is now time to show that you can follow directions. Probably, it is a good idea to come to the Zoom meeting even though it is not mandatory.
Points off for being late. There is a shut down da
Once you hand in a first draft, you will have a week to re-write to improve the work and perfect the MLA. I am not your editor. You need to find help, if you need it. The library has websites on MLA. I have Modules on MLA. The library has tutors for checking essays. NetTutor Online is free and can help. Find help. Proofread. Perfect the MLA.
From grading the last paper, it is evident that many of you need help. I recommend getting help in our Zoom meeting. I expect college-level work. And you should expect that from yourself. Many students showed that they don’t know how to use the databases, and they don’t know how to cite. That will lead to failure in this class. I suggest getting help.
