Share your thesis (or a copy) with your partner. Analysis Framework Returns I told you you’d see this again… even if I am in control and can make it a self fulfilling prophecy. Remember long long ago to last week when we did an analysis framework? Good. Peer Review with Analysis Framework You will be following this handout with your partner.

Peer Critiques: Part 2
Pull up your thesis document and a blank document.
Peer Critiques for Background Information Go and sit with your partner. With any luck, they’ll have absolutely no clue what your topic is about. This is good. You want a blank slate to see what you, the expert, are overlooking as obvious. Your Task Follow directions on this handout (also found on Google Classroom) Step 1: The Read. Read their background, make some notes. Refer to the handout for specifics here. Step 2: The connection. When you get to step 2, have your partner copy paste their intro section into your shared document. Then, continue to give them notes on that sheet. Again, refer to the handout for specific notes. Step 3: The Return. Take a gander at your partner’s notes. Then, add to this document with the next steps you need to follow as described in the handout. SHOW LORI WHEN YOU ARE DONE. Back to Work You’ve got some editing to do. Revision Priorities for today…

Starter: Take the Yearbook Survey! Seriously, do this stuff. Lest they let me loose on AI generators to create uncanny senior/baby photos for you. In Text Citation Review We’re getting into the nitty and the gritty details of writing a research paper. Unfortunately, that includes MLA in text citations. Take a look at the handout and use the find and replace function (command+F or control+F) to find “(“ open brackets (Shift+9). This should show you any of the citations you made already and allow you to double check them. If you haven’t made these citations yet, use the same function to find “ quotation marks (Shift+’). This won’t find paraphrasing but it will find direct quotes, which is better than nothing. Not citing your sources is plagiarism. Transition Quick Review Quickly review strategies for transitions:
Transitions Practice Individually Finally, you’re going to take some of your own writing and transition it properly. SHOW LORI once you do this. This sheet should look eerily familiar if you can remember last semester (however long ago that may or may not have been). Once you complete this, it’s time to get back to the grind.

Analysis Framework Assignment People tend to struggle with analysis- let’s practice with a framework that will help you. This sheet has a framework, an example, and a place for you to practice with your own writing. Before you move into writing time, take a hard look at some section of your part 3 and use this framework to improve your writing. SHOW ME to move out of the classroom and into writing time. Writing Goals: By the time you come back to school next week (assuming tomorrow is, indeed, a snow day…)
