This document discusses using Google Docs to improve student writing at an English class. It describes the original 2-page analytical paper assignment that students completed every two weeks. The challenges with the original process are outlined, such as students only focusing on their grade rather than feedback. The document then explains how using Google Docs improved the process by allowing students to get more peer and teacher feedback on drafts in a shared online document. Benefits included students learning to incorporate feedback and focus more on developing their ideas and analysis. Mini lessons were also given during the editing process. Overall, Google Docs created a more effective and collaborative writing experience for students.How to Write a Real-World Thesis Statement

The document discusses using Google Docs to improve the writing process for analytical essays, called 2fers, assigned to students. It outlines the original rigid guidelines for 2fers and challenges students faced, such as not fully benefiting from peer editing or retaining feedback. The new approach uses a shared Google Doc for each essay, allowing for in-class peer reviews and ongoing teacher feedback. Benefits included students focusing more on feedback and improving areas like thesis development over time. Challenges also remained, such as occasional missed deadlines or technology issues. Overall, the shared document format aimed to make the writing and feedback process more meaningful and continuous.Recently uploaded (20)

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.Meeting the needs of modern students?, Selina McCoy

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spotssystemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AIthat could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.One Click RFQ Cancellation in Odoo 18 - Odoo 際際滷s

College Essays: Yellow, Red, Green Flags
- 1. In the end, there are no bad topics, just bad essays. However, some topics are TRICKIER than others either because they are in bad taste or just clich辿. Examples
- 2. How youre so awesome How did you get that way? Your essay should make you look awesome without just saying it.
- 3. Your High School Drama Because it makes you look like high school is your whole life, instead of thinking about college.
- 4. Your Travel Journal It can be done well, but you have to show what YOU gained from the experience, not just how cool the places you visited were.
- 5. Religious or Philosophical Arguments Figured out the meaning of life? Great. But dont preach to the person whos reading your essay.
- 6. Quoting famous people Martin Luther King once said that students should come up with their OWN brilliant words!
- 7. Making fun of the prompt You can definitely be funny in your essay, but dont try to turn it into a satire, or be cynical in your essay colleges wont want you on their campus.
- 8. Your Excuses There may be very good reasons that you didnt perform as well as you should have in high school but this should be coming from your advisor. Stay positive in your own essay.
- 9. Your illegal behavior Even if you got caught, got punished and learned from the experience colleges dont want trouble.
- 10. Hot-button issues People have strong feelings about topics like abortion, terrorism, gun control, police, etc no matter what you write, you may offend the reader of your essay.
- 11. Stories outside of high school Show that youre engaged with the larger world!
- 12. Show how youve grown You may be awesome now, but what key life experience, mentor, or idea did you have which helped you get there?
- 13. Specific personal details Your essay should be so specific that there is no WAY it could belong to anybody else.
