Some last minute notes on writing the body paragraphs (some examples on putting in the sources):

Option #1 (author's name and title in the sentence): According to Jared Diamond the author of Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fate of Human Societies, "We all know that history has proceeded very differently..." (13).

Option #2 (author's name in the sentence): Jared Diamond explains to us that, "history has proceeded very differently..." (13).

Option #3 (paraphrase no name in the sentence): According to this source, history has proceeded at different rates on different continents (Diamond 13).

Option #4 (no name in sentence/or title): Because, "...history has proceeded very differently..." there are many differences throughout the globe (Diamond 13).

Option 5# (no author/title in the sentence): According to The Global Monitoring Report," Education for all cannot be achieved without improving quality" (17).

Option #6 (no author/no title in the sentence): The information presented in this source tells us that, " Education for all cannot be achieved without improving quality" ("Education for All" 17).

Option #7 (two authors/author in the sentence): Best and Marcus argue that one should read a text for what it says on its surface, rather than looking for some hidden meaning (9).

Option #8 (two authors/names not in the sentence): The authors claim that surface reading looks at what is “evident, perceptible, apprehensible in texts” (Best and Marcus 9).

Option #9 (more than two authors): According to the article, "The Economic Impacts of Broadband" we learn that, "Broadband’s economic significance can be put into context by referring to similar changes in other areas of infrastructure, such as road, rail, and electricity" ( Qiang et al. 1).

Don't forget transitions!!!
Use your note sheet on signal words!!

Works Cited Page

 A Works Cited Page. A Works Cited page is a listing of the sources in ALPHABETICAL ORDER you CITED in your paper--NOT A BIBLIOGRAPHY. At this point you should make one for every source sheet using the format below.

***Note: if you decide not to use a source you can take it off later, or add one on if needed.***

-------------------------------------------Today's Agenda (after the above notes)--------------------------
1. STAY FOCUSED!! You only have today and tomorrow in class to complete the following:
*Finish anything you did not finish yet (source sheets, Works Cited, counterclaim, outline)
YOU SHOULD NOT BEGIN DRAFTING UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR OUTLINE and I have checked it!
Follow the outline as you write--it is a map to end up in the right place!!

2. Please make sure I (or a co-teacher) check your work and sign your sheet giving you credit for a rough draft.
*I will need to see a version of a rough draft in sign it in order for you to get credit. This should be completed before the Peer/Self editing sheet. A printed rough draft works too if you want handwritten comments by me.

3. Complete the self-editing sheet and place it in the folder--THIS IS MANDATORY IF YOU WANT THE POINTS

4. Complete the peer-editing sheet for 5 points EXTRA-CREDIT (make sure your editor signs their name indicating that they read your draft and gave you comments)

***therefore, there is a possibility of 10 extra-credit points**********************

5. Make sure you:
*Check the components of your assignment and portfolio
*Are keeping your portfolio organized and intact
*Print out any sheets you need printed


Sample of a counterclaim paragraph and a conclusion (this is the same paper from yesterday's intro and body 1):

Today's Goal: Finish your outline and begin drafting your paper. But first, let's go over the different types of in-text citations: (Citation information from the OWL at Purdue and Lane Community Library page)

Notes:
*Please make note of the fact that paraphrased information must also be cited.
*If there is no author, use the title in place of the author's name.
*It is best to vary the styles that you use in your paper; it will make your writing look more advanced and less formulaic.

Part 3: Writing the counter-claim

Watch here where most of this is all explained.

Here is what  a counter-claim paragraph might sound like:
On the other hand, it has been argued that ________________________________ (counterclaim).

This point of view seems to make sense because _____________________(evidence/reasoning that supports the counter-claim)

However, ________________________________________(rebuttal--why is this weak? Give support through evidence!!!)

Therefore, ________________________________________(sum up why your claim is better/makes more sense)
