Recognizing Commonalities & Drafting Joint Pieces
- Share the writing you had for the “integrating sources” round of our Wednesday writing, and consider the following questions:
Is anyone in your group, using source in similar ways? Does anyone use the same source? Does anyone apply the same source to the same text? Could you combine any two or more of your “integrating sources” writing together? [10 minutes]
- Share your compare and contrast writing, and consider the following questions:
Do some of you use the same texts? Do you make similar observations between texts? Is it possible to combine your compare and contrast pieces in any way? (For example: Zaris compared A & B, and even though Robert compared C &D, they actually make the same claim/observation. Is it possible that they can then have one claim that looks at A, B, C &D? Or Danny has an interpretive angle about X & Y and Becky has a different interpretive angle about X & Y Is it possible that they might combine their look at X & Y to have a more complicated interpretation? ) [10 minutes]
- Split your group in half (2-3 people per half). One half should co-write a combined integrating sources segment for Project Dandelion. The other half should co-author a combined compare and contrast argument for Project Dandelion. Use GoogleDocs in order to draft together. [15 minutes]
