Rogerian Argument Assignment Specifications

Again the essay is due, Monday, March 12, 2012, by 10 a.m.

Before sending the essay to me, look at the checklist I posted below in a separate post.

Outline for the Rogerian Argument Portfolio

In one word document include:

1. Writing Assignment 8 (final draft)

2. Peer review with comments: Discussion Questions and essay with Microsoft Comment. I also told students to look at the check box on page 102. We will review Chapter 5 on Tuesday.

3. Writing Assignment 7

Take the word document and paste it and attach it in an email to me: coasabirenglish5@gmail.com

In the subject line put: Rogerian Argument/Writing Assignment 8.

Don't forget to copy yourself. When editing check for: comma splices, sentence fragments, run-on sentences, vague pronoun references, verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, overuse of be verbs. Remember that when writing about literature, use the present tense when in the world of the work.

No contractions in scholarly writing.

Make sure the MLA is perfect: double spaced throughout, paragraphs indented, header and heading correct. If you don't remember how to set up a MLA paper, look in your grammar style book. OWL at Purdue is a great website, so is dianahacker.com/rules.

Don't send me drafty drafts. I'd like to be able to read your arguments and give you a passing grade. This class is only three units.

Today's Freewrite
Bring your photos to class on Tuesday to share for today's freewrite. If it is an electronic document, send the address or URL to me and I can post it.
