Writing Workshops

As one of you already pointed out, writing workshops were not very successful last semester. A handful of students gave excellent feedback, but most students put minimal effort into this important task. You will once again be expected to provide substantive feedback to your peers. And once again, I will read one draft for each essay.

Please read pages 30-31. Please provide the three levels of peer critique as outlined on page 30. Use the questions on page 31 to address specific issues regarding content, organization, development, and grammar/style/sentence sense.

Workshop Groups for Essay 1

1. Shakerrie, Caitlin, Caleigh
2. Dana, Shannon, Franshaun
3. Alice, Jordan, Jovan
4. Brittany, John

I would very much like to experiment with online collaboration software (docs.google.com), so we'll talk about this tomorrow. If the learning curve is too steep, we'll just do it the conventional way, so have your copies ready.
