Lab Helpers Today (3/8)

I have a horribly sore throat today, gang, and I will try and speak as little as possible today. You're going to have some time to work, and here's our plan:

1. I do want you to share your draft with your "row": so whoever is sitting in your lab row, please set up shares for the profile draft. As we did last time, go into those other drafts and leave some comments, but try to focus on what you think might be "missing" in the draft. If there aren't a lot of quotes, leave a simple question about that (Will you add more?). If there are no stories, you can comment on that (A story would really be great . . .). If there's no organization, or the structure isn't engaging for you as a reader, you can probably find a way to say something about that (I got most engaged in X section . . .). Please don't just leave a lame pat on the back. Or say, "good draft!" Offering up ONE or TWO serious comments would be better than leaving platitudes strewn about; plus, even though you think you're being polite with that kind of thing, you're actually being a bit of the opposite. 
2. I do have a handout with tips on how to punctuate quotes and edit them. You can Google to find answers to other questions you have, when you have them. It would take you 30 seconds, likely, to get an answer about how to use quote marks. Figure it out.
3. Continuing on with editing, here's the slideshow we worked with today on TRANSITIONS!
4. The final draft of the profile, because it involves you citing research (your interview!), requires a Works Cited page. Here's how to do that entry, since you won't find an example for it on Fister (that MLA guide that's our required text for the course):
   
   Smith, Jane. Personal interview. 12 Oct. 2014.
   
   Remember, at the end of that essay, you should make a Page Break (find that on the Insert menu), since a Works Cited page needs to be on its own page at the end of your paper. At the top of that page, type "Work Cited" (since there's only one "work"!), then give us your entry after that.
