Citing quotes?

Hi, I've seen your (Ms. MacDonell's) comments on some of the others' blogs about their citations, but haven't figured out what you want. Do you want Allende's name there or not? Should it be (Allende 93) or just (93) ?

missing?

I cannot find posts from some of the group: Azon, Laugher, Cfran, and one others whose wacky name escapes me.

Friday's Class

I read almost everyone's posts and I am satisfied that some good thinking and writing is taking place in my absence. I would simply like to add at this point that you need to keep working in the same fashion. Keep writing, posting and commenting. I am especially impressed with the feedback part. I have very little experience working this way with a class but so far I am in awe with the support you have given to each other. I am convinced that we do learn together. I will book the library so that you can continue to formulate your ideas and give each other insights. For all of you, I would say that when you get to the editing and final draft stages that you will have to spend more time making sure that the wording and the sentences are correct and in a formal register. All essays are due on Monday. Have great and thoughtful weekend!

Blog??

That is all.

House of Spirits posts and comments

To begin drafting our essays, I would like to use somewhat the same process as last March. I would like you to post at least two paragraphs of your essays by Wednesday and I would like you to comment on two other students' posts. The purpose of the comment to help the writer improve the draft. You can make editorial comments about content, use and formatting of quotations, organization of ideas, grammar, word choice and other elements of style. It is often difficult for us to see own our errors and so a "second opinion" can be very helpful. Remember that you need to offer your commentary in a gentle fashion. Obviously you do not want to make the writer feel overwhelmed. For this reason it is a good idea to begin with some positive comments, to allow the writer to build from his/her competence.

We will use Tuesday and Wednesday's classes to work on the essay. I have to be away on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so I will make comments for all of you as well using this blogsite.

Best of luck with the process
