-Please use the Google Document I shared to sign up for a conference time if you have not yet had one this term.-Please make sure you have completed your comments on your partners' literature reviews, as we began in class tonight.
-I am expecting to receive all the second draft Intro/Lit Reviews by Tuesday 3/1. (These are the ones I'm grading.) If we you arranged an alternate deadline with me, please email me a reminder! Note that you will include five more annotated bibliography sources with this submission.
-Potential subjects for the 2/28~3/1 class include Aaron's famous anti-methodology exercise, a section outline or concept map for your analysis section, and "everything you ever wanted to know about grammar & style editing but were afraid to ask."

Class #3 Post-Game and Reminders
Reminders:
-No class on 2/14~2/15. President's Day is not a day off at GMU, so class will meet as usual on 2/21~2/22.
-Please use the Google Document I shared to sign up for a conference time if you want/need one in the next two weeks.
-Please comment on your partners' introductions in the following way. First, read each partners' introduction. Second, consider the seven rubric categories given on page 11 of the course syllabus. Rate your partner "developing" in two categories, "competent" in three categories and "exemplary" in two categories. Write a brief note of explanation about one of the exemplary scores and one of the developing scores. (It can be assumed that Aaron forced you to choose developing and that maybe you actually think better of it and so on.) Then repeat for any remaining partners. You can convey this evaluation to your partners by email, Google Docs, or however else you like. Great work to everyone who has done this so far.
-Redraft of literature review due next week with 10 new annotated bibliography entries. (I also need the previous entries for the students who didn't take my 390 section.) This will be our major focus in class on 2/21 ~ 2/22.
Annotated Bibliography Format: Remember, this is only suggested.

Annotated Bibliography Format: Remember, this is only suggested.
1) Bibliographic Citation for source according to the discipline-specific style standard you've selected.
2) Thesis or main idea of source... WHAT is being argued.
3) Evidence or method of source... HOW is it being argued.
4) Audience of source... WHO are the readers it addresses.
5) Purpose of source... WHY is it written? What is the author trying to accomplish? These last four could be accomplished in 2-4 sentences. You can write more if it's helpful, but don't write a novel.
6) Is the source your "family," "friend," "enemy," or a "one-night-stand"? ("Strangers" and "help wanted" are important to classify but shouldn't be included in your annotated bibliography. Remember you will always reassess your sources, so even friends may become strangers.
7) What makes this source useful to you?
8) What are the limitations of the source, or reasons it might not be useful?
9) This source relates to one (or more) of your others sources how? Those last four could also be done in 2-4 sentences.
