Past+Due+Dates+&+Work

**complete list of everything due more than one week ago **
=__**Due on THURSDAY 7/28: **__= 1. **Read MHH, pp. 179-185 & 189-194** 2. Make sure you **bring your handbook (MHH) & copies of ALL YOUR SOURCES --** you will NEED these things, so don't forget.

=__**Due on FRIDAY 7/29: **__= 1. **Annotation of Sources** -- you MUST have PAPER/PRINTED copies of EACH SOURCE that meet the criteria for acceptable sources & acceptable copies, all of which is explained in detail on the A2 assignment sheet (on the Unit 2 - Writing Using Research page). Below I have listed the requirements for this assignment and also posted an example of the assignment (a 2-page article that is annotated and has the works cited citation written on it): [|annotation_example_page_1.jpg] & [|annotation_example_page_2.jpg] (a) On EACH SOURCE, any information, facts, numerical data (statistics), quotes, ideas and/or images/graphics that you are considering including in your research paper should be clearly underlined and/or highlighted. (b) On EACH SOURCE, your annotations (notes) should be handwritten NEXT TO ANY HIGHLIGHTED/UNDERLINED MATERIAL. To learn how to annotate properly and get ideas for your annotations, see the handout given to you in class on Tuesday 7/26 (on the Unit 2 - Writing Using Research page; also here: [|READING YOUR SOURCES_evaluating managing annotating note-taking.doc]) -- the last two pages of the handout explain some strategies for taking notes as well as questions and suggestions for responding to readings ("Strategies for Elaborating on Readings") 2. **Complete draft of your Works Cited page** -- use part 4 (the MLA section) of MHH to create your works cited page. The menu/list on pp. 224-226 tells you which pages to look at to get //explanations of citations// for almost any type of source along with //an example of a citation for each type of source//. Starting on pp. 261+, there is an example of a research paper in MLA style -- the last page of the paper is the Works Cited page, which is annotated by the authors of the handbook with explanations about things like which order to put your sources in, how to format the page properly, how to indent properly, and so on.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">1. Check the list below to see who your partner is. Take some time to discuss with your partner how you will approach and complete this peer review assignment. You and your partner may want to talk before doing peer review so you both have a better understanding of each others' MGPs, the thesis/theme of your MGPs, the other topics you wrote about for your MGP, etc.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">2. You will respond/review to ONLY ONE CLASSMATE'S DRAFTS. (Remember: you will lose major points for not doing peer review!)

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">3. Use the peer review question worksheet below -- your responses to the questions ARE your feedback. Make sure you answer the questions properly (follow instructions on the worksheet) and that you write out your answers in complete or nearly complete sentences. I don't care if you type or hand-write your answers as long as you upload your completed peer review to your student page when you're done (PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, etc. -- for example, if you hand-write your answers, take a picture of your written answers and upload as a JPEG file).

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">4. You should also make comments directly on your partner's/group member's draft (easiest way is to use the "insert comment" function in MS Word or to use a colored font for your comments so the writer can clearly see what and where you provided feedback on the draft itself).

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">5. __**Upload your peer review responses/answers to YOUR OWN STUDENT PAGE no later than 5:00 p.m. on FRIDAY 7/15.**__ Let your partner know as soon as you've done this so he/she can go view your response.
