The topic, transitional, and concluding sentence should remain in black.
As you type, you may correct only spelling and punctuation errors.You are strongly encouraged to use the Word EDITOR in Office 365.
2) CONCLUSION: WRITE YOUR CONCLUSION AT HOME ON THE BASIS OF YOUR IN-CLASS BRAINSTORM.
Draft your conclusion yourself (no AI assistance); any conclusions identified as AI-generated will receive a grade of zero on the final submission.
Have a close look at this example of a conclusion.
3) FINAL EDITING STAGE: BY YOURSELF OR WITH AI (USING ONLY THE PROMPTS AVAILABLE ON MOODLE), PERFORM THE FINAL EDITS.
Students who prefer not to use AI can edit their essay by following the same rules.
Every single modification, at this stage, must be identified by inserting a comment into the word document. In each comment, clarify the modification that was made and, if you used AI, identify the permitted prompt that was used.
No need to insert a comment when correcting punctuation (a comma, period, or semicolon), when correcting the spelling of a word, when correcting verb-subject agreement errors ("he says") or verb tenses, when correcting or adding determiners ("the," "a," "an," "this," "that," "these," or "those").
No need to insert a comment when deleting a word or phrase without replacing it.
No more than four words in a given sentence can be added or replaced.
One sentence per paragraph can be modified beyond four words, including the introduction and conclusion.
If AI suggests words that you don't know how to pronounce, cannot define without a dictionary, or wouldn't typically use, do not use them. Everything you write should sound like you. While using AI for editing suggestions is allowed in my courses, your work should never sound like it was generated by AI. The use of AI should be transparent, blending seamlessly with your voice and authentic writing style.
4) MLA FORMAT: FORMAT YOUR DOCUMENT BY FOLLOWING CLOSELY THE MLA GUIDELINES.
5) BEST PARAGRAPH: ON THE LINE IMMEDIATELY UNDER YOUR TITLE, INDICATE WHICH OF YOUR TWO PARAGRAPHS IS BEST.
If you do not identify your favorite paragraph, I will assume that the best is your first paragraph (since you received teacher's feedback on this paragraph).
If both paragraphs are of fairly equal quality in terms of length, structure, writing, accuracy, and focus on thematic message, I will place much greater emphasis on your stronger paragraph in my evaluation.
6) SUBMISSION: FINALLY, SUBMIT YOUR FINAL COPY, INCLUDING THE WORKS CITED PAGE, TO LEA BEFORE YOUR DEADLINE.
Again, color each sandwich and present the detail descriptions in bold.
