Research Lab #6 post-game and reminders for the weekend

Announcement: I don't have plans to be in my office after 2:00 this afternoon, so if you want to see me later in the afternoon please email to make an appointment and I'll stay for you.  

Lab Exercise: Evaluate the two sample essays according to letter grades in the following categories... Ideas, Argument, Language, Research.

Sample 1

Sample 2

Lab Exercise: Concept map or paragraph outline of your research essay.

Reminder: Make sure your first draft is ready for peer review during Monday's class!

Clarification: Your first draft needs a bibliography. Whether it's annotated or not is your choice; eventually you will remove these.

Link: Another former Baltimore city cop makes an unusual argument to draw attention to the dysfunctionality of our current prison system... here is the Amazon link in case that article doesn't load... the book is called In Defense of Flogging
