DUE ON MONDAY, JULY 28TH:
Mandatory assignments:
--Read and fully complete an "Article Analysis Template for They Say/I Say" page for both of the following texts from They Say/I Say:
  • "We, the Public, Place the Best Athletes on Pedestals" (pages 545-552)
  • "Cheating and CHEATING" (pages 553-559)
Both of your article analysis pages will be checked in at the beginning of class and submitted.  Also, be prepared to engage in discussion about both of the texts either on Monday or Tuesday.
--Take a look at pages 141-173 of They Say/I Say with the following focusing question in mind: How can this information help me craft a meaningful final paper for submission on Monday?  As you finish revising your final paper, incorporate your learnings from TS/IS within what you write.   
--Finish revising your final paper.  As you do so, seriously consider all of the following (not necessarily in this order):
  • the scoring document and in-text feedback provided by me on your first draft
  • the feedback provided by your peer during class on July 22nd
  • pages 185-220 of The Curious Researcher
  • pages 55-173 of TS/IS
--Your final paper is due at the beginning of next class.  In order for your final paper to be accepted, you must come prepared to carefully follow these directions:
  • resubmit your first draft with my notes and your notes written on it
  • resubmit the original rubric with your initial score and my notes written on it
  • submit a copy of your final paper with all of the changes you have made highlighted (e.g., if you corrected a parenthetical citation that was initially missing a page number, highlight the citation OR if you added six sentences prior to your current introduction in order to better "hook" your reader, highlight those sentences)
  • submit a clean copy of your final paper with no stray marks on it
--Please be aware that on Monday, informal presentations of your final paper will occur in class.  You will have a little bit of time in class to prepare.
