Thursday classwork

1. Sign into my Google Classroom with your class period's class code (listed below)

Period 1: b2bumb
Period 2: y4imb6
Period 3: j4ebcpd
Period 6: 614xnn
Period 7: hx6gd8

Please double-check that you are using the correct class code. For example, Period 1 students should use the Period 1 class code listed above.

2. While you are waiting to log in, compare your Transitive/Intransitive Verb worksheet answers with your small group.

3. Google Classroom Assignment Review: As a class, we will review guidelines for preparing an annotated bibliography. We will then look over the notecard format for our research project.

4. Get to work! There is a lot to do, so you must maximize your class time. Start locating your sources for your bibliography. Evaluate them for accessibility, relevance, accuracy, and credibility.

Accessibility:
-Am I able to read and comprehend the text easily?
-Do I have adequate background knowledge to understand the terminology, information, and ideas in the text?

Credibility and Accuracy:
-Is the author an expert on the topic?
-Is the purpose to inform or to persuade/sell?
-When was the text first published?
-How current is the information on the topic?
-Does the text have specific facts and details to support the ideas?
-Does the information in this text expand or contradict what I already know about the topic?
-Does the website appear professional? (overall appearance, grammar, spelling, style, format)

Relevance:
-Does the text have information that helps me answer my research question(s)? Is it information that I don't have yet?
-How does the information in the text relate to other texts I have found.

Homework: Read 30 minutes.
If you feel as if you are behind on your research, either work on it for homework or work during lunch tutoring in my room Friday.
