03.18 - Roots, Paraphrasing, Notecard Prep

We started today with our work on the set 15 roots by reviewing the answers to the practice quiz. We followed this up with playing a game of root stick with the set 15 roots. 

After root stick we had our third installment of "The Paraphrase is Right" (see slideshow below). After everyone wrote the paraphrases for the provided quotes, we discussed the different ways that people paraphrased the quotations. 

The Paraphrase is Right 

(directions and episodes 01-03)

This work lead us into discussion of what our notecards for our research will look like. 

We also began looking at how to generate notecards from a source. For this, I handed out some information on surfing from one of the reliable sources that we found in our work on how to effectively search for information/sources. For homework, everyone should read this document and produce a three sentence summary of it's main ideas on the back.
