Thesis and Support Quick Check

First, grab your homework and find a partner at another table.

Take three minutes and discuss with your partner what your personal thoughts are about affluenza. Discuss what they were before you watched the video and what they were after watching the video. (It is okay if you didn’t really have an opinion prior to the video – you could discuss why this never really crossed into your mindset.)

(On the back of your homework write down 1 – and your partner’s name)


Still with your homework in hand, find a new partner – it cannot be someone who sits at your “usual” table!

Take a few minutes to discuss with that person what was hard about writing this thesis and support and what was easy about writing this!



Even still with your homework in hand, find one last partner – you still can’t be with someone at your “usual table”!

Take a minute and discuss with your partner what you would do if you had fifteen more minutes to work on this assignment.



Trade papers with your partner.Take a few minutes to read your partner’s paper.

After you read your partner’s paper, write at the bottom who you BELIEVE the writer’s audience is.

After this – you can go back to your table!

You are writing to Convincing that person that

An arrogant teen who comes from a wealthy family and doesn’t accept responsibility.

Affluenza is a true ailment.

An arrogant teen who comes from a wealthy family and doesn’t accept responsibility.

Affluenza is an excuse for bad parenting.

A humble and well adjusted teen who comes from a middle class family, who sees his/her peers getting away with nonsense and not accepting

responsibility and is oozing frustration.

First, let’s check the paper formatting. Make any necessary corrections!

A header is NOT required

for a one page paper –

but is acceptable if

there!

Your Name

Ms. LaDuca

ENG 102 - 12462

ENG 102 - 12463

January 13, 2014

Period 1

Period 2

All of this formatting is worth 5 points – it is 5 points or no points, you must have the heading information correct, a title, and the piece double spaced to get 5 points. On the

notecard please put F= and then put 5 or 0

ENG 102 - 12568 Period 3

First, let’s check the paper formatting. Make any necessary corrections!

For your WC points (5 or 0) you need to have the following to get your points: the title Works Cited centered, both sources properly formatted, in alphabetical order, with the second lines indented. Please put WC=


Look at the title! T= 1 pt or 3 pts Is it effective? Is it beyond the obvious and mundane, yet

not drippy and sappy? Put a plus if you like the title, or put a minus if you think the title needs more strength!

Look at the first sentence of the paragraph!

Review the thesis – circle affluenza and underline your comment. TH= 1 pt to 3 pts (if it isn’t your first sentence then it is a zero)


Using a highlighter, highlight the short quote.

Circle the lead-in. Review the usage. If it is correct, put a plus

in the margin, if there is an error – place a minus sign in the margin. Make the correction for the person.

Lead in “blah blah blah” (Cooper).Or Cooper believes “blah blah blah.”

SQ= 0pts or 5pts


Using a highlighter, highlight the paraphrase. It needs to be the second to last sentence in the

paragraph! Review the usage. If it is correct, put a plus in

the margin, if there is an error – place a minus sign in the margin.

Be sure there is either a lead-in or proper parenthetical documentation. Also, be sure that there are no quotation marks and the end punctuation only follows the parentheses! P= 0pt or 5pts


Look for the ellipses! Circle the ellipses!Check for the following: The quote still flows even with the use of an

ellipses. Proper interpolation is used – if necessary. Is a [SIC] required and not there? We use the end punctuation PLUS the ellipses

since if it is a long omission! Are the periods evenly spaced? E = 1 pt or 3 pts


Check the point of view! This was to be in third person only, which means no: I, you, we, us, our, me, my, mine . . .

If you see any examples that don’t meet third person point of view – put an X through the pronoun!

PV - 0pts or 3 pts


Look for the reference to something in the video, using your highlighter (choose a color you haven’t used) and put a squiggle over the reference. It must have Inside Edition (in italics to get points) VI= 1 pt or 3 pts


Take out your vocabulary lists! Look for the vocabulary words that were

included – there should be three! Near where the words are in the paragraph, write

out the definition. Look at how you used the vocabulary word – if it

is effective and flows properly and reflects the appropriate meaning, put a plus sign after the definition. If it is awkward and/or incorrectly used, put a minus sign after the definition.

VO= 0 pts or 3 pts – 1 point for each vocab word

Argumentation Check

Toulmin? Or Rogerian?

Final EvaluationYou will now evaluate the paragraph using our rubric! Somewhere on the front (or the back if you don’t have room) please write:

sentences of explanation next to each rubric area! Be sure you are clear!
