Lesson Topic
Using block quotes to develop the research paper's agruement
Lesson Outline
Katya and I agreed that the paper is "taking shape." The paper is moving from sources that simply list reasons for divorce based on limited sampling to more complete discussions of individual causes to more statistically generated studies. Practiced "The Sandwich" again when organizing Katya's second core paragraph, practicing and reinforcing the importance of part 3 of The Sandwich to draw out and present important insights related to the quote. Moved on to including bar graph for a third source's perspective. Noted that Katya will need to find the full AARP article from which the bar graph was taken. Noted that this bar graph cites findings that are not in agreement with the previous two sources' findings. At our next session we will have to discuss (1)"tipping point" as well as (2) how varying "findings" can be reconciled and (3)what would we find if the searches were written "Scholarly articles on divorce"?
Assignment
Katya to complete third core paragraph and draft the paragraph she believes follows what she has already written.

Lesson Comments
Katya feeling well enough to have class. Katya interested in finding good quotes, but she is still drawn into informal, more sensational studies. I think Katya needs to put on her "scientist" had more often. My lessons could be focused more on making Katya more critical as a researcher and as a writer: critical in terms of "Is the argument missing something?" "What have I left out?" "What logically follows?" "Is my research as complete as possible?" "Where can my wording be better?"
