03.07 - Occupations Outline

We started today's class with the set 11 roots and prefixes quiz. When everyone had completed the quiz, we corrected quizzes together as a class.

Next, everyone got back into creating notecards with information that helped define/give background on their occupation. After about ten minutes of this work, we came back together as a class and I reviewed how to write a thesis and main ideas and then how to use these in creating an outline.

Notes related to this discussion are below as is a video reviewing how to create an outline in NoodleTools.

How to create an outline in NoodleTools (video):

(the video was created with another class so some of the finer points may relate more closely to that project, but how to create an outline in NoodleTools remains the same).

Everyone then had the rest of the period to complete their notecards. Homework this weekend is creating an outline of the background section.

Notecard Requirements:
10 notecards total
     2 summary notecards
     2 paraphrase notecards
     2 quotation notecards
     4 free choice notecards (summary, paraphrase, or quotation)

Everyone then had the rest of the period to work on their notecards.
I was on hand to answer questions and went around to check in with students.


Homework:

Create an outline (with thesis statement and main ideas) to organize your notecards.

Complete missing work and revise any assignment that scored below a 92.
