Homework: Write a response to one of the practice tasks on p. 377 to 379 and email it to me at [email protected] (Take as much time as you need for a “perfect” response, but pay attention to how much time that is.)

In pairs, read all 4 homework essays. What’s good about each one? What could be improved?
DELTA p. 386 has descriptions of the score levels for integrated writing. What score would you give each example?
Then let’s talk about each one as a class.

- Make sure to use citation language to talk about where each idea comes from:
	According to the reading, / According to the lecture,
- You should also use contrast language (if the ideas are opposite) or comparison language (if they’re similar)
	In contrast, the reading… / This challenges the point from the reading that …
	This supports what the reading says about… / Similarly, the reading says…
- In general, the lecture supports or challenges the points in the reading, not the other way around.
- If you use pronouns (especially “it” and “they” or “them”), make sure that it’s totally clear what you’re referring to.
