4/24-5/1/20

Below is the document containing instructions for this week. This week you will again have both LA and SS time to work on your research paper each day. Instructions are in the document and resources are linked below. Zoom meeting will be on Tuesday at 1:00 pm. Santos/Smith will give some guidance on your rough drafts and discuss common feedback given on the outlines. We will leave time for questions at the end.

**Important Reminder: The Weekly Feedback assignment is ONLY for asking questions and getting help as you work. Your finished assignments should always be uploaded to the Second Semester Research Paper assignments (Revision 1, 2 or the final which just has no revision).

April 24-May 1 Assignments

Santos and Smith will be giving full feedback on your outlines. We will work as fast as we can but it does take time. If you have already received feedback, use it to guide your rough draft. If we have not yet gotten to yours, still start on your rough draft. You can use the outline feedback to go back and revise your rough draft before submitting once you have received feedback.

A few tips to get started:

• Work on just one section at a time if needed. Mental blocks (especially in this crazy time) are real! Start with just your introduction and then take a break for the day. Then the next day do BTS 1, and so on. Just leave some time for adjustments at the end of the week.
• Just start writing! The easiest way to unblock the brain is to poke a hole in the dam. Even if it feels a little like a free-write at first, just start getting your thoughts on paper. The more you write, the more coherent you will become. You can always go back and edit later.
• Use the resources below. Seeing ideas and examples can help get the words flowing.
• Don't stress!! This is a rough draft. It will need editing. That's normal
• Take a break! Go outside! Move! Maybe you only write for 30 minutes and then take a break before continuing. Do what works for you. Our brains can only handle so much time staring at the screen.

Due Dates:
5/1: Rough Draft
5/8: Final Draft

While all previous resources are linked below, here are some key resources for this week:

 If you are using an image in your paper, here is some guidance on how to cite and refer to your image.

On a page before your Works Cited page, you will have this:

Appendix A (center, no other formatting)

Picture (just copy paste your image, left aligned)

Fig. 1 (Centered underneath the image)

Then in your works cited page, include a normal MLA citation for the image. In text, you can reference the picture by referring to Figure one “In an ad released by…celebrities are shown…  (see fig. 1)”

Below is a great resource for how to properly cite images and gives an example. It shows how to do it using the image in text, but the idea is the same. You will just put your image in an appendix instead of in text.

Problems Smith/Santos saw reading your outlines

Turning Outlines into Rough Drafts (This is additional guidance to be used with the rough revision ppt below)

Using TFA evidence correctly (This is the integrating TFA evidence document we keep referring to.)

As always feel free to upload your paper with specific questions for feedback to this week's weekly feedback assignment. You'll see in the document that there is also an opportunity for a peer edit this week.
