Greetings!

For our second discussion this week, you get to be the instructor for a bit! I hope you have a little fun with the activity. As we continue with the growth of your papers, sources, APA knowledge and citing, we’ll be thinking about our upcoming essay draft next week. Remember that quotes should be used carefully/judiciously; avoid overlong or flowery quotations that do not really add to your argument or provide specific factual support.

As stated by Nascimento, Rodrigues, Middleton, and Buckner, transferring ideas to paper in your first draft is when thoughts start to show context and synthesis:

The requirement of a scholarly paper cannot be underestimated—an idea, passion or flickering curiosity rarely finds being beyond the imagination without such requirement. The requirement of a written paper gives the idea form and substance. It is in writing one’s ideas on paper that the idea becomes real, communicable to others. In this stage, the single most valuable teaching strategy is the provision for writing drafts. (2008)

Think about which pattern might best help you create a solid draft for your pro-con paper!

Just a reminder: your initial post should be submitted beginning Monday, August 5, and you should include an outside source in your discussion, here, a previously collected source for your Week 7 Pro-Con Position Paper)

I look forward to reading your posts!
