Hi everyone, hope you’re enjoying this rainy day gloom like I am.
Not much this week besides independent work on your Rhetorical Analysis drafts. By Sunday, you should be able to incorporate feedback from me as well as feedback from your working groups into your drafts, bringing them to their final versions. Final Draft of 4-5 double-spaced, 12pt font pages, is due on Blackboard by 5PM on Sunday, 10/18.
Remember: 1 point (out of 15) pertains to the outside source, so you should be quoting from or bringing in arguments made from the review you wrote about in your blog post last week at least once in your paper.
In lieu of a blog post this week, please read and offer comments on all the drafts in your working group folders. Your feedback should largely follow the same format as our first workshop. Please be creative with your feedback and genuinely try to help this person with their chosen analysis. Be constructive and thoughtful, and most importantly, be kind–feedback is an act of care!
Speak to the following points directly on your peers’ google docs:
-
- Observe: What do you see? Summarize what this paper is about and what it “wants to say.”
- Warm: What is working? What are the strengths of this piece? Say more than just “I like it,” say why you like it, with sentences such as “This part is really working because…”
- Cool: Does the piece satisfy the requirements of the assignment? Were there parts that confused you? Use constructive language like “I got a little lost here because…”
Have all your comments in the Google Drive folder before our Peer Workshop. We’ll meet on Zoom on Wednesday, 10/14 at 10:00AM.
See you then and in our conference!
