Writing Skills 3/15/18

Both Ms. Carol, and Mr. Rivers were not in today but we did have an assignment posted on google classroom. The assignment is called Evidence Integration, basically what the assignment calls for you to do is to take the evidence you used in your research synthesis and improve upon it by adding, context, citations, and more analysis, all of this we learned to improve on yesterday. You have to revisit Mayor Landrieu's speech and the work yesterday to get an idea of how to expertly integrate evidence into this outline and into your final draft. The purpose in practicing to better integrate evidence into what we're writing is because if you expertly integrate your evidence with a good quote, context, and analysis, it will help your readers to understand where your getting. This helps to clarify some of the points you make and connections, and will help your audience to understand your argument and where you're getting at and why you're bringing a quote from somebody else, that's not you. Even when I edited what I said for my synthesis I can the difference when I add more context than I did before, before it read like you didn't know what I was talking about, but edited, it was easier to follow and comprehend now that background information that elaborated more on where I was getting at. Keep in mind this all to prepare for the upcoming final draft, this like the cherry on top of what you have to know when going and what you're expected to have. Other than that that's it, I'm guessing both Mr. Rivers and Mrs. Carol will be in tomorrow an these edits are due tomorrow before class starts, try to get it done.
