Day 8: Using Other People's Ideas

Today each of you will be working at her/his own pace. Once you have completed all the items of this list show me you have done so.

If you do not get to finish everything on the list, it becomes HOMEWORK for Tuesday.

  1. If you have not done so, watch The Truman Show HERE. Log in with you LaGuardia username and password.
  2. Complete Blog # 5. Instructions HERE.
  3. On your multi-authored blog:
    • check that your pseudonym appears on the Contributors list
    • check that your number of blogs is 5. If it is something else, (4 or 7, for example) and you know you have written every blog, then do what needs to be done so that when we click on your pseudonym the correct 5 blog entries appear.
    4. Complete the form on Claims, Reasons, and Evidence for The Truman Show HERE
    5. Complete Blog # 6. Instructions HERE.
    6. Complete this Tutorial in Using Effective Language for the CAT-W
    7. On Tuesday we will have our CAT-W Practice #1. The first part of the test will be whether you can show up on time. For CAT-W-taking strategies, see page 24 of our class packet; for what the CAT-W scores mean, see page 23 (I will explain the scoring in detail in a future class).


Ongoing: Watch The Matrix and complete the quiz on the top of my blog before Tuesday, Oct. 15. The Library has streamed The Matrix HERE. You can watch the streaming ON CAMPUS ONLY and you need to log in with you LaGuardia username and password. If you wish to watch it at home, you will need to figure how to get a copy on your own.
