  1. Philosophy Essay Workshop A Philosophical Journey

  2. Objective • SWBAT to revise and strengthen their writing through a writing workshop to enhance the validity and effectiveness of their use of source material to support their philosophy on different topics.

  3. Labeling • Make a key at the top of the person’s paper using your highlighters • Sample: • Green=Statement • Pink=Proof • Yellow=Commentary • Label the topic sentence • Label the transition at the end • Highlight statement, proof, and commentary using your key

  4. Evaluate Your Claim • Does it clearly state your position on Free Will (prompt 1) and “How we got here” (prompt 2)? Make notations on what needs to be strengthened. EVALUATE YOUR PROOF • Do you establish that your statement is indeed evident in the reliable source material you used? • Do you have direct quotes from the original source(s)? (Idiot’s Guide, Creation Packet) EVALUATE YOUR COMMENTARY • Do you address the WHY of your statement? In addition to what your sources indicated, what has led YOU specifically to accept this as truth? Include explanation, anecdotes, etc. • Do you include a specific COMPARISON to your cited philosopher or thinker? • Do you include a specific CONTRAST to your cited philosopher or thinker?

  5. Evaluate Connections • Draw a line between the first quote’s commentary and the claim. Evaluate if you have made this connection in your commentary. • If yes, draw a check mark next to the line • If no, draw and “x” on the line. • Repeat with your second (and third, etc) quote • Only draw a check mark if the connection is clear and explicit. I should not need to take a leap of faith to get where you are going.

  6. Peer OR Self-Evaluation • Re-read your paragraph(s) and your reviewers comments • If you are reading SOMEONE ELSE’S PAPER, can you tell what he/she believes and why? • If you are reading YOUR OWN PAPER, try to pull back and see it with fresh eyes. From an outsider’s point of view, can you tell what he/she believes and why?

  7. SELF-EVALUATION • Now that you have gone through the workshop, ask yourself, “How well did I do? What can I do better?” • Using the rubric, indicate honestly how well written you believe your paragraph was. • Next to the score, make notes of what you need to revise in order to strengthen it • Turn in your afterlife section with the rubric stapled on top
