sThe first draft of your critical analysis (and your first writer’s letter) will be due in class on Friday, 9/15. Plan on bringing 4-5 copies of your draft and letter to class (depending on the size of your writing group). For more information on the word count of the draft and guidelines for the writer’s letter, please refer to the assignment sheet I passed out in class, available here.

This draft should be double-spaced and include appropriate citations. For specific  guidelines, please refer to the formatting section of the syllabus.

As a reminder, please submit the copy of the discovery draft with my notes along with your draft.

For class on Friday, you should read “Responding–Really Responding–to other Students’ Writing” and come to class prepared to discuss his strategies for revision.

Finally, if you are willing to have your essay workshopped with the class, send me an email. If I choose to use your essay, it will count as extra credit toward your participation grade.
