Begin with Journal #13:
Read the handout and compare it to the website
(both linked on the class blog) for using neutral language.
Discuss the similarities and differences with a
partner (if at home, identify, rather than discussing).
Summarize the KEY points you should use in
your own writing in your journal.
Rough drafts:
(45 minutes) Work alone or in pairs to create rough draft.
Keeping in mind the neutral language lesson, and the Oregon
Encyclopedia Author Guidelines (also linked on the class blog), craft a completed draft. Help each other stay on task.
Peer edits:
Have another student offer peer feedback
on conventions, fluency, style, and any blatantly missing information in the article.
HOMEWORK: complete
the rough draft or merge the two sections that partners wrote independently. Bring
a PRINTED copy to class on Friday for further revision and formatting for
submission to the Oregon Encyclopedia Project.
