Draft 1 Crowd-Funded Project Due

Today you read and comment on two drafts.

GOAL FOR TODAY:  NOT to GET good feedback, but to GIVE GOOD FEEDBACK.

• YES you may write on the draft.
• NO you are NOT correcting spelling, etc.
• You ARE provided feedback about your reactions as you read.
• Things like "cool word to use" "I'm eager to read on because of this (underline)" "I'm confused - what is a ______?" 
• BE SPECIFIC about what you are reacting to. If you use the word "confusing," you must make it clear what word or sentence or idea is causing you difficulties.
• If the draft uses a word in a way you don't expect or understand, point that out.
• Be helpful, constructive, and encouraging. Rude feedback loses points.

Fill out the comment sheet AFTER you read and write on the draft. Be detailed there as well; it will earn YOU points toward YOUR paper's grade.

Homework:

1. Continue to work on your paper. Use the feedback. Draft 2 is due on Tuesday. That draft should be complete and only in need of proofreading/small edits. That draft will be submitted electronically to Moodle's Turnitin, as well as a hard copy.

2. TWFTD: sinister in the OED
