Turn-it-in: 2011 -12 Account Information

We are going to be using turnitin to submit essays, peer edit and check for plagiarism (among other cool things!). 

You must upload a paragraph as a trial run (anything you want) to turn-it-in. This is not going to be graded on content, but on if you successfully upload it (so, a Pass/Fail homework assignment).  You need to learn HOW to use turnitin, so this is a trial paragraph.

This is your opportunity to use this and set up your account. I expect you to do this and require you to do this by the due date. I will be moving forward with using this program, so please ask for help from me or your librarians. 

Things to include:

• Write it in the program you would use to write an essay
• 25 -50 word paragraph
• Your user name/password should be included in the paragraph; just in case you forget it, I have it handy!
• You can: humor me, tell me a joke, something about you, how annoying school it…I don’t care. 

Please refer to the chart including your section information. You will need the password and log in information to create an account. Please use your full name (first and last) to create the account AND use the email account that you check everyday. I will contact you via email. MAKE SURE YOU SIGN UP FOR THE CORRECT SECTION!!!!!!

It is simple, like uploading pictures onto facebook. You can either upload the document, or cut and paste, whichever you would like.

If you have any questions, post them here in the comments section, be sure to leave your name. If your peers want to answer, they may do so. Or, you can check with Ms. Moniz or Ms. Estrada in the library.

DUE: FRIDAY 12/16 by 2:30 pm

Good luck!

Grade 9–TSOM v. JE essay

Despite what the original rubric said, there is no turn-it-in for your reflective essay on Jane Eyre and The Sound of Music. Here is the revised assignment and rubric:

You will write a 500 word (1.5-2 pages typed double spaced) response comparing/contrasting Jane Eyre and The Sound of Music. You will describe at least two specific ways of how JE and TSoM are similar, using specific examples from the book and the film. You are expected to use the notes you took in class while watching the film.

The essay is similar to a journal entry—you can use “I”. However, your essay must be typed, double-spaced, in TNR 12-point font, with 1 inch margins all around. Any quotations from the book must be cited properly.

The essay is due Monday March 8, 2010. You will bring a hard copy to class and submit it to Turn-it-in prior to the start of class.

This will be a QUIZ grade and is your first grade for term 4!

Rubric:

_____ / 15            Analysis of film and book (insightful connectios and commentary)

_____ / 15            Use and explanation of specific examples from the book and film

_____ / 10            Proper formatting (MLA, as described above)

_____ / 10            Writing: Grammar, mechanics, style, vocabulary, etc.

_____ / 5            Final Copy ready: handed in with rubric stapled to the top at the start of class

_____ / 55            Total = _____ / 100

Thanks!
