DP Updating and OpEd Revision

Introduction

Hey guys.  I'm still out with the flu (ugh), so here are your instructions for today.

By the end of class, you should have...

1. Completed your project reflection
2. Taken a picture of your final cartoon
3. Posted the cartoon and project reflection to your DP
4. Worked on revising your op-ed

Hopefully in that order!

Project Reflection Instructions

Answer all questions in complete paragraphs.  You should have three full paragraphs.  This must be finished and posted to your DP by the end of class today.  You will not receive any other time to work on this.  SPELLCHECK before posting to your DP!

1. Project Description:  What did you do for this project?  Describe it so that people who don't know about this project will understand it.
2. Cartoon Reflection:  Look back at your first Rwanda cartoon (on the whiteboard, or in the black tray on Lori's desk), OR at the first draft of your final cartoon.  How have you grown as a cartoonist?  Be specific, and make sure you address some specific techniques/changes.
3. Op-Ed Reflection:  How was the writing you did for this assignment different from writing you've done in the past?  What did you learn from doing this type of writing that you could apply to future writing assignments?

Pictures

Take a high quality photo (you can use your phone for this if necessary) of your political cartoon.  Post that photo on your DP.

Revise your Op-Ed

Please note that this is the ONLY class time you will get to do this.  All other revisions will need to happen outside of class.  You have a week to do them, which is ample time.

1. In-Text Citations.  See the handy guidelines linked here.
2. Sources Cited Section.  Make sure you have one, and make sure it is in alphabetical order.
3. Address all feedback given to you.  For some of you, this will mean substantial re-writing!
4. USE THE CHECKLIST!!!  Seriously.  Use it.  
5. If you finish all of your revisions, email a copy of your final draft to Lori.  Then print a copy and mount it to the posterboard with your cartoon using double-sided tape.

HOMEWORK

Revise your Op-Ed piece.  Keep track of your deadline- remember, it's due a week after I emailed it to you.  The email I sent you with my feedback has your due date listed.
