Course Recap for Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Welcome Back!
After almost a week of conferences, we finally met again as a class to review each others rough drafts of Project 2: Analysis Paper.  You separated into groups and discussed each others papers using a response guide to help your discussion.  For homework you will be doing your own review of your rough draft.  Using your classmates feedback and your own knowledge of your writing, you are going to answer the following questions:

1. What did you accomplish with this first draft?  What do you feel you did well?
2. Where are some places that need improvement?  What things will you focus on when you start your next draft?

Your response should be in paragraph form and should be 1 to 2 pages long.  Here is your chance to defend what you've already written and to start planning the changes you are going to make later.  Everyone has done something well and everyone has something they need to improve upon.  It is important to me that you are conscious of your own writing process and that you are capable (with the help of your peers) of recognizing the strengths and faults in your own paper before receiving my comments.  This response forces you to think about what you've already written and helps you set goals for making your paper better.
