My professor sent me this:
Everything is on the slides bud and in the models I’ve written- I can’t reproduce everything in an email but here are some:
And these types of parts are problematic:
. Reading this book o not only leave the audience entertained but also but also trigger their emotions and feeling regarding several issues in society.
Emotions and issues are so vague it is not really an argument. Also in places like this:
While reading the book, one can Cleary tell that Blatty portrays the significance of religion in the society through several characters such as father karass.
The minimum word count was 1800 and you were at 1150. The portfolio is supposed to have 1500-1800 for the introduction and 4 artifacts. The portfolio is supposed to used evidence from your work to prove skill acquisition. OI provided a list of skills and many examples of before and after evidence comparisons.
Please look through all of the powerpoint carefully. Especially the following powerpoint I uploaded. Thank you.
Here is the model ePort link: https://canvas.eee.uci.edu/eportfolios/53120/Portf…
At the end, you need to give me the improved RA essay and improved ePort Introduction and 4 Artifacts (4 individual small paper about those skills.) If you have any questions, just let me know. Thank you!
RA ESSAY PROBLEM:
1. TOO VAGUE
2. 3 QUOTES PER PARAGRAPH
3. 4 Outside Sources (Works Cited Required)
4. MINIMUM WORD COUNT: 1800
EPORT:
1. The Introduction should write about the skills that you use in the RA essay. Those skills are in the powerpoint. (1) Evidence Selection 2) Quote Integration 3) Analysis 4) Internal Transitions 5) Topic Sentences 6) Transitions Between Paragraphs 7) Creating an Introduction Map 8) Using Outside Sources 9) Creating Titles Using Genre Conventions 10) Managing Word Choice and the “sound” of Writing) The description of these skills is in the powerpoint.
2. MINIMUM WORD COUNT: 1500
3. 4 Artifacts that do not reuse the evidence from the introduction
3. BOTH the introduction and the artifacts should include visual evidence: screenshots, highlighting, anything visual that helps explain your process and learning
4. The goal of BOTH the introduction and the artifacts is to prove you have learned the skills taught using evidence from your own writing (before/after examples). BOTH should be evidence focused.
5. Yes the introduction should be written “like a paper” and not be an endless list of examples
The artifacts can be thought of as stand alone “body paragraphs”
Topic Sentences Checklist
NO DEADALY PLURALS
Is there a “Blatty argues” formulation
Did you isolate specific characters (not all characters are the same)
Did you avoid sweeping statements like “throughout the entire novel”
Did you push the TS past an observation or description- can someone disagree?
Did you both anchor yourself to the novel and also pivot out of the novel?
It’s not just a claim about Chris as a character but an argument about the nature of maternal affection
Intro Checklist
1) Start specific and stay there. Avoid the broad sweeping language we often associate with introductions.
2) Use one key quote from the novel that you think perfectly encapsulates Blatty’s message
3) Use your analysis of that quote to set up your message statement (Blatty’s Message =______________)
4) The map= a concise summary of your topic sentences
This map should be SPECIFIC and SIGNAL SQUENCE of the core specific ideas of your topic sentences
The Map should literally be a kind of sequenced paraphrase of all your topic sentences.
Conclusion Checklist
1) Succinctly summarize your map (DO NOT summarize for an extended number of sentences)
2) Mirror the intro and pick ONE new quote to analyze that is connected to your main message in a novel way
3) Use the analysis of this quote to shed new light on the message you argued- you are trying to give the reader a “I didn’t notice that before moment”- apply your idea to a part of the book or a character you haven’t addressed
4) Pivot out of the novel: Answer the question: so what?
