Class #16: Lit Analysis Peer Workshop: Monday, March 30, 2015

Lit Analysis Workshop: Attached paper

Tiny tasty tidbits to remember: 

1. Cite AND Attribute.

2. Discuss lit in present tense.

3. Thesis stronger when specific. MUST be ARGUMENTATIVE.

4. DQ choices & DQ length = proportion.

5. Research should be integrated, not an afterthought.

REVISED LIT ANALYSIS DUE MONDAY

CLASS: 

1. Presentation on Thesis writing (focused on literary analysis paper). 

2. Differences between primary & secondary sources (historical & research)

3. A DON'T CHOKE Activity with NO PRE-DISCUSSION...just intelligent comments on the final drilling article. 
                  The Millers: will speak to the source credibility (of the article itself, where is it from, how is it credible, or not? AND of any sources cited within the piece)
                  # Family Reunion: will speak to relevance and timliness
                  Femme Fatales: will speak to credibility of author's use and verification of facts
                  The Posse that once belonged to Pat: will speak to the difference between the author's implicit and explicit credibility
                  La Familia: will speak to the logic or illogical nature of the argument (is there fallacy?)
                  Rhetoricless: will speak to the overall quality of the source & whether it is suitable for use as a primary or secondary source in a collegiate term paper.
