02.25 - Summary

At the beginning of class today, I handed out a sheet listing the unit 2 roots and prefixes. Everyone had about 7 minutes to fill in as many definitions as they could. I then showed everyone the correct definitions for the roots and prefixes (see below). Any responses that were incorrect are roots/prefixes that people should focus on studying for the quiz tomorrow.

Next, we looked at how to use summary when conducting research (see handout below). As a class, we reviewed the summary handout and talked about how it is important in summary that the person writing make sure to use language that is entirely different from their source. Using any language that is also used by the source must be quoted specifically. After, reviewing this sheet, everyone had about 10 minutes to create a found poem using the summary sheet. We then shared out these poems. 

Next, we reviewed how to create a summary notecard in NoodleTools and in Google Drive (see image and video below).

Everyone then had the next fifteen minutes to go online and work on a summary of one of their sources.
