  2. Warm-Up • Write without stopping! • Write in a notebook with a pen • Diverge from the prompt as much as you wish • Share as little as a phrase, as much as three sentences; read word-for-word • Do not respond to others, but be completely present as listeners.

  3. Warm-Up Respond to the following prompt: By way of introducing yourself, describe the place where you live. You might begin, “It is the kind of town [or city] where…”

  4. Practical Suggestions for 1.1 • A strong summary is accurate and specific. • Reread your summary, paying particular attention to your first one or two sentences. These represent your best effort to summarize the most important points of the article. • Now, test yourself. Return to the article. Where does the author express his or her main idea? Underline that sentence or sentences. How close did you come to expressing the same? Can you make your first few sentences even more accurate? Can you make them more specific?

  5. Practical Suggestions for 1.1 • Check to see that you’ve included explanation of the author’s key terms. (What are they?)Make sure that when you take words directly from the text, they are in quotations. For example, “engaged pedagogy” needs to be in quotes. “Cultural reinforcement” needs to be in quotes. • Check to see if you’ve discussed (succinctly) what evidence the author uses to support her claims.

  6. Practical Suggestions, 1.1Check your verbs • Argues • Asserts • Claims • Insists • Suggests • Discusses • Explains • Relates • Tells

  7. Practical Suggestions for 1.1 • READ YOUR SUMMARY OUT LOUD. • Check for clarity. Can a friend understand what you’re saying? • Are there sentences that you can divide into two to assist in clarity? • When you quote, does the quotation integrate smoothly into your own sentence? • Would someone who hasn’t read the article you’re summarizing be able to follow your paragraph?

  8. Assignment Formatting and Class Materials • When submitting assignments, please label your attachment in this format: JDoe_Assign1.1d [for “draft”] OR JDoe_Assign1.1f [for “final”] • Make sure to have your full name and the assignment number (Assign1.1d) in the document

  9. Logistics • Be sure to have a pen and paper next to your computer • Have your text next to you • Be sure to have printouts of your rough drafts and the rough drafts we will workshop
