Short Project #4

First, I return papers.

In your daybook: 

Please look over the grading rubric for the Short #3 and answer these questions:

1. What did you do well in this paper?

2. What did you do poorly, if anything?

3. Whenever you talk/write about something written by someone else, what does your audience NEED TO KNOW?

Now the timed writing:

1. How was writing under time pressure different for you?

2. Was your score a surprise, or generally what you expected?

Now, you read the assignment sheet for Short #4. When you are done reading, answer these questions:

1. What do you have to do to meet this assignment?

2. List the 5 categories that make up your grade.

3. How do you format this paper?

4. Come up with 3 things that curious people do and list them.
