George Bush on Global Warming

Hello Sir!

Hello sir i don`t think i can make it today, i am stuck. so can we postpond the debate dates please?.

NO GO

Right now, I'm stuck at home. The roads here haven't been plowed and I can't get through. I'll post a new message if the situation changes.

UPDATE: It's 9:35 and the road here still haven't been plowed. It's looking like we'll have no class today. Check back here around noon.

Handouts from Monday

Sorry, I should have had these up a couple of days ago:

1. The handout showing how much you need to change text in paraphrase and how to give full attribution.
2. The textbook section and the related summary example.
3. The in-class summary assignment. Note that you should read this before Monday Feb, 11.
   

Edit example

Here are two edited versions of the essay that I asked you to edit last week. The first one shows all the changes that have been made. Anything in red italics has been added. The deleted material is written in red and struck out. I tried to base the essay on the original and keep as much of it as I could, but it was very difficult and the result is probably not as good as if I had just started from scratch.

The second version only shows the final material, but it uses different colours to show how the various themes flow through the essay.
