WRITING LAB AND TEACHER CONFERENCES
I collected first drafts for 10 points. I conferenced with Nate, James, and Kyleigh.
Teacher conference schedule:
Feb 10--Katie and Kathie
Feb 12--Melissa, Trevor, Becca
Brittany and Tiffany:
Please send your first draft by Friday via email to pharline@alpine.k12.ut.us
Class tidbits
1. The paper basically appears in 3 sections: 1) summary and thesis statement; 2) analysis of the rhetorical strategies the article's author used; and 3) your own ideas about the content. The "Your Own Ideas" section of your paper could serve as a conclusion to the paper, and would probably be 1-2 paragraphs.
2. I wrote a body paragraph to show the class. Click here to view.
BT--hope you're having fun!

Class Feb 3
DEMONSTRATION
I showed the class a paragraph I wrote about the sportsmen (as though I were also writing a Summary/Strong Response Paper). Here's a link to the paragraph.
Notice that I start with two topic sentences; I finish the paragraph with a concluding sentence. In between, I 1) introduce example; 2) provide example; and 3) follow up example with analysis and explanation. I do this over and over throughout the paragraph.
Also note that my quotes are short.
Since I was analyzing word choice, I included many short examples. In your own paper, you may choose to use one or two longer examples in a paragraph instead, but you would still follow the same pattern: introduce example, provide example, and analyze example.

DEMONSTRATION
I showed the class how I annotated an opinion article about hunting and fishing written by sportsmen. Then I filled out the Prewriting Rubric with details from the article. After filling in the rubric, it was easy to see which 2-3 points I wanted to write about in my paper: 1) the sportsmen's tone and word choice added to their ethos; 2) the sportsmen's altruism came through because they seemed to genuinely care about the land--this also added to their ethos; and 3) the sportsmen were vague about their evidence.
Each of these 3 points will become a well-developed paragraph.
