Tuesday, Nov. 10 Agenda

Bell Ringer: Rubric for paper (due Thursday)
Paper:
If you aren’t done with your first draft, you need to keep working on it.
You need to meet with me if you have a second draft of your body paragraphs, an intro and a conclusion: pick a specific focus area (signed up on board)
You need to self edit and revise.  I am expecting a solid piece of writing.  You need to make sure you are looking for capitalization, punctuation, spelling, fluency, as well as the analysis stuff that I commented on.
Works Cited Page
Before you turn in your paper, create a works cited page and turn it in as the last page in your paper
Research goal: Present (many ways possible, you pick the best that fits your audience) your ideas about your research questions. Answers the questions and applies to the audience that most connects to the theme/issue. Need to provide social awareness of this issue that is also seen in the book.
Research Time
Use your questions (most need to make more: I need to see 8) as jumping off points for your research of how your theme is seen today: don’t only use the questions, search other concepts that come up as you find sources!!!  Before you search, highlight the main words/key terms in the questions that will help you research.
How is the theme you focused on reflected in today’s society? What does this theme and the examples from today say about today’s society?

Create a HUGE list of potential sources –your end goal is to have a larger point about your theme today, not just that it exists (this list needs to be saved with me)  By the end of the block today you should have 5 to start.
