Results from yesterday's vote on our next project
​
Goals:
1. Provide positive, specific and helpful feedback to a peer 
2. Refine your op-ed

STARTER #45:  Op-Ed Self Critique

• Review the rubric (page2)
• Make a note on your typed draft (electronic version) of which category/ies you need to refine the most
• In bold at the top of your electronic draft, type one focusing question for your peer critiquers and ME based on the category on which you need the most refinement.  Keep this at the top of your draft when you email it to me.

Example question: Ashley, I am confused as to whether or not my moral philosophy really applies to my topic and if I have smoothly integrated that argument into my op-ed

Agenda
1.  News Flash: Real Life Heinz Dilemma!

2. How to quote in an op-ed mini-lesson
Unlike most writing where you cite evidence from other texts, you don't use "parenthetical citation"-- meaning you don't put the author's last name and/or page # in parentheses after the quote.  Rather, you just set up the quote as you normally do.  

3. Peer Critique Instructions:  Op-Ed Peer Critique (Have TWO classmates critique your drafts.  Be sure to save the edits to turn in w/ your draft to me so I can see your refinements from your peer critiqued draft and the one you submit to me on Friday at 11:59 pm) 
 
You cannot submit your op-ed to me until you have had peer critique AND refined it based on the critique!

4. Refinement time!

5. Thanksgiving plans/appreciations!
