12/17: Last Day Review and Grades

Class

Professor Gallardo's approach is very personable and warm, but she will give the mediocre grade you deserve with a smile on her face, a batch of snacks in her hands, and a flower in her hair.
-- A- ENG 101 student, Dec. 2017

                          look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under't.
--Lady Macbeth to Macbeth, Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 5

12/10: Workshop for XED Paper/ Revision of Research Work

Class

• If you did not pass the Research Work yet, you must work today to make their final draft pass.
• If you passed the Research work, you can choose between revising your Research paper's last draft for a new grade OR to work on the XED Talk (or both, I guess).

Revisions and XED Talk papers are due to me by Friday, December 13. You can hand them to me by hand from 10:30 to 1pm in E108 or leave them in my box in E-103. I will leave school at 1pm on Friday, so any papers you leave in my box after that time will not be read and counted for a new grade. This deadline is FINAL.

We will meet on Tuesday to review grades, for a closing lesson, and to wish each other well as we part.

12/5: Turn in Research Work

Today: Turn in your Research Work, Eat a Cookie, and Do the Snoopy Dance!!

For Next Week: Start Your XED Talk

Here is a XEDTalk model to consider, based on the material we have covered in class: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L-q1oyppc3kXejip5385Vlow4xuetSxHat-ystNXOOI/edit?usp=sharing

11/26: Reader Feedback for First Draft (2 people needed) + Second Draft

Class

1. I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL 

2. I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR RESEARCH OUTLINE 

3. YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR FIRST DRAFT

Your goal for today is to find two people to give you Reader Feedback for First Draft (2 separate reports). These two people can be classmates or family/friends.

CHOOSE YOUR READERS JUDICIOUSLY--doing so is part of being a good writer.
After reading the Feedback, begin your Second Draft of the Research Paper.

11/19-11/21: First Draft

Class

IF I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL and OUTLINE:

Your goal for today is to begin the First Draft of your paper.

I do not check this first draft (if I accepted the Outline, you should be fine), but you MUST find 2 PEOPLE to complete separate reports answering the Reader Feedback for First Draft. These two people can be classmates or family/friends.

11/14: Research Paper Outline

Class

IF I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL: 

Your goal for today is to complete a Research Outline (Tentative thesis + topic sentences + possible evidence). The outline does need to be as complete as the one in the sample, but should sketch the general organization of your paper.
