Bryan E. kicks it old school! Thanks to him, we started out watching Sir Mix-a-Lot’s video over his hooptie. Pretty funny, and now we see where Riley gets her dance moves from.

Today, we pimped out our formatting – make sure you have a double-spaced paper with 12 point Times New Roman font. Do a Header. Do a Head-ING that indicates your last name and the page number. Give the paper a working title. Riley walked us through that, so if you weren’t here today or didn’t have your hooptie to edit, then you may need some help.

The last two things we edited today were your introduction and word choice. Remember to keep this as an ACADEMIC paper – no informal slang, cussing, or text speak. Use the best words possible.

REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO DO ALL THESE EDITS WHILE TRACKING THE CHANGES IN WORD.

Do you know what a hooptie is? Well, you do now! Riley must have watched one too many episodes of Pimp My Ride, because she is telling us that we are going to Pimp our Papers!

Remember on Friday she told us to take our paragraph “nuggets” and put them all into one word document in order? Well, that’s our paper! It’s ok. It probabaly doesn’t look like much of a paper right now, but we are going to turn this Pinto into a Cadillac!

Today, we pimped it out by looking at our organization, our thesis sentence, and lastly, our rhetorical strategies.

Make sure that you are TRACKING YOUR CHANGES in WORD. Riley will be looking at your tracked changes on Friday. There is a DROP BOX JUST FOR TRACKED CHANGES.

Remember – she expects everyone to start out with a hooptie and then turn it into a Cadillac. The tracked changes SHOW that process, much like Pimp My Ride shows the PROCESS of fixing the car up.

We were all very glad to see Riley was in school today.

Today, she gave us time to work on our poster and then had us convert our poster’s paragraphs into a paper. There is a new folder called Pimp my Paper and this is where all of our material for the paper will go.

Remember, in order to pimp your paper out, you have to have to something to edit and revise! Make sure you have this to work on for Monday!
