Today is about giving feedback. YOU are the audience, so you need to communicate to each other what YOU find effective.
Note: the purple feedback sheets earn YOU points. Be detailed and thoughtful.
ALSO, you may write ON the draft you read with your REACTIONS. This is a rough draft, so DO NOT PROOFREAD or edit -- just provide reactions/ input/ ideas.
Homework:
1. Use today's feedback and get your paper ready for Tuesday, when DRAFT 2 is due. Have Draft 2 be as close to perfect as possible, so people can help with editing and proofreading, as well as organization.
2. If you want MY feedback, send me an email (kloden@southeast.edu) with your draft attached.

Now open a Word file, create the MLA headings, and input ALL the Key Elements.
How will you arrange them on the page? What will you CALL them? You are free to play with these in your layout, after the MLA style heading and page numbers. You may make headings font size 14, and text should be 12 or smaller.

Kickstarter Analysis Due -- Solo Paper #1
Hand in the hard copy of your paper WITH the blue assignment sheet.
Open on your computer screen YOUR copy of your paper. Do a "Save As" and add "Color Version" to the name for the paper. Make the following changes to the new file:
1. Make your title red. Are ALL the major words capitalized?
2. Make the introduction and conclusion purple.
3. Make your hook and your clincher bold.
4. Underline the words that refer to criteria that you used to judge the effectiveness of the projects.
5. Italicize your thesis (the point of your paper.)
6. Click the "save" icon and close this file.
7. Go to our class in Moodle and click on the forum to turn this paper in.
NOW, we shift gears to the Kickstarter on Paper. I hand out the purple assignment sheet.
You get into groups and come up with a list of the key elements that you think every Kickstarter OUGHT to have. These should come from what you observed. I mean the SECTIONS that MOST of them use to organize their information.
We combine your imput into a CLASS LIST OF KEY ELEMENTS. Everyone will write this onto the purple sheet.
If there is time, we look at Everyday Writer Sec. 23 Ex. 23.9 page 272.
Homework:
1. Write a page of brainstorming notes of ideas for your Kickstarter on Paper. The rough draft, due Friday, should be typed. It should have something in EACH of the Key Elements, but it need not be complete.
2. TWFTD: Your choice from Bedford Ch. 21.
