1. Sign into Blogger. Select one of the class blogs, read it over, and offer the writer 1) a compliment on something specific (an idea, a sentence, etc) and 2) a specific suggestion for revision.
2. Take the surveys linked on a previous blog post.
3. After the surveys, examine the paraphrases from class yesterday. Revise yours if necessary. Afterward, incorporate a paraphrase into your summary paragraph.
4. When you have an explicit (visible) paraphrase in your summary, revise your personal summary so that it touches on every main aspect of the chapter.
5. Finally, add a paragraph beneath it that summarizes chapter three (39-54) in only five sentences. In those five sentences, your summary should focus only on why black history and African-American experience matters to any American. Although this is your goal, you still have to introduce and define any particular keywords -- the trick here is to select only those keywords that you might use in your upcoming paper (use your best guess).
When you're finished, you should have a two-paragraph in-class blog that's a revised and expanded version of your in-class writing from yesterday.
