Draft #1 Observation/Description Due

Today you practice more analytical thinking.

#1  Read and React:  use ! and ?

#2  Analyze:  Are the details clear?  Do I understand and "see" the scene?

#3  Evaluate:  What works well?  What could be improved?

AND do this in a supportive fashion. I'm awarding you points on the quality of your input.

 Then you will fill out the blue "Writer's Sheet" (handout).  I'll pass around 2 "Reader's Sheets" that will be filled out about your draft.  When we're done, all these sheets will go home with you, and you will revise your draft into Draft #2.

Homework:

1.  Make changes/additions to your draft.  Draft #2 typed is due Tuesday. How will you save it? On Tuesday Draft 2 must be accessible electronically in the computer lab. BACK UP A FLASH DRIVE!

2.  Read Pages 82-84 in The Bedford Guide, Michael Coil's essay "Communications." In your daybook, write the answers to Questions #1, #3, #4 and #5 on page 84.

3. TWFTD:  "rough" in the OED --see yesterday's post for instructions.  The link to the OED is on the left.
