Peer-Revision “Being a helpfull classmate.”
Why Peer-Revise? • What helpful critiques have you heard from your peers? • Have you’re peers ever offended you during peer-revision? • Do you like to peer-revise?
Before we begin… • We need to astablish “Rules of Conduct” that we all must follow during this process. • At your tables, come up with at least 3 rules or preferences that you would like your peers to follow during the peer-revision process. • We will share them and create our own “10 Commandments of Conduct.”
Spelling • Individually (no talking), correct the spelling mistake from each sentence. • Each sentence has only one. • When you are done look up at me. • Do you know of any other words that you think are easy to mispell?
Grammar • Individually (no talking), correct the grammar mistake from each sentence. • Each sentence have only one. • When you are done look up at me. • Do you know of any other grammar mistakes that you think are easy to make?
Video Time! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1EFyyoxa4k • Why dose Andy Rooney get angry at Ali G?
Summary v. Inference • Summary • It’s okay in small doses. • If your entire paper is summary, you will not be able to create a effective argument. • When you trying to win an argument, what is the point of repeating everything that happened that led up to the argument? • Instead, talk about WHY YOU FEEL the way YOU do….
Summary v. Inference • Inference • To infer means to “guess.” • Use your knowledge of the text to create a personal opinion. • This is the first step on the road to winning an argument! • If you have evidince to backup your claim, you are good to go!
Quoting • Quoting helps strengthen your inference. It legitimizes you’re ideas. • Example (3 sentence process) from Antaeus. • 1) TJ, unlike the gang, does not accept the fact that they cannot grow a garden on the rooftop. • 2) When TJ asks the gang to stop the adults, Blackie grimly states “No, they own the building.” • 3) This shows that the gang accepts the loss whereas TJ cannot.
