Now that you know what to do to create a great first impression, it is time to get on with the rough draft of the essay. Look back at the instructions. Follow the instructions.
WRITE THE DRAFT! Write all but the conclusion before Thursday.
Note where the in-text citations will go if you do not know how to do them. Otherwise, be sure to include the in-text citations.
Post in MyCompLab. (50 pts.)
Please get your paper ready for a peer editor to read. You will receive a peer editing sheet. Listen for instructions.
We did not get to do this on Tuesday .
You probably noticed that you could include a quotation from a user of the technological wonder you selected as the focus of your essay. Take the next few minutes to interview at least three other students in our room. First, you need to devise three or four good questions to use as the focus of your interview.
Questions that require either a "yes" or "no" answer do not work well. What can you ask that will elicit extended responses?
Here are some tips: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/559/06/
Take notes. Be sure you have the correct spelling of the names. Add the interview information to your EasyBib collection for this project. www.easybib.com
We pause now for a few words from your classmates on ways to include in-text citations without going crazy! WORD is your friend.
