When you have time between or after drafts today, go to Moodle to see the answer keys for yesterday's exercises (in the highlighted section). Please check your work.
Today is about giving feedback. YOU are the audience, so you need to communicate to each other what YOU find effective. Politely.
Note: the purple comment 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.
Useful comments on a draft:
What colors? How much? When will I get it? Why...? What does x mean? More info needed here...How does x work? I want THIS reward! Don't you need money for x?
Homework:
1. Use today's feedback and get your paper ready for Friday, 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.
3. Daybooks are due Friday as well. "Language Use in Kickstarter" is part of your daybook grade.

Spell Checking
Thinkwrite: Have you ever experienced a really effective sales pitch, when you ended up making a purchase when you had planned NOT to? Try to describe what happened. How were you convinced?
First of all, we do Ev. Writer Ex. 23.8, page 270 at the bottom, and on the next page a bit. You will type and make the corrections as you type.
Then you will do Exercise 23.9 page 272, writing the correct word down in your daybook (number from 1 to 13).
Now open a Word file, create the MLA heading, and list ALL the Key Elements. If you've already started this paper, open that file and work on it. At the bottom, list the Key Elements, and delete them as you write them into your paper.
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.
Homework:
1. Write your first draft of the Kickstarter on Paper. It should be typed, and there should be something for each of the required elements.

Paper Due AND "Language Use" Homework
Return of Lego paper. Keep the final version which is stapled to the grading rubric (on the top of your stack). The final version with grading rubric must be saved for your portfolio and the final page count.
You need one copy of your Solo Paper #1 AND the grading rubric/ assignment sheet to hand in.
THINKWRITE: Please look back at your lists of the steps in the writing process, from the first and second day of class. Think about the process you went through to write THIS paper. Which of those steps on the list did you actually do? Describe the process you went through. What was helpful, and what you would like to do differently for the next assignment?
Now to hand in your "Language Use in Kickstarter" assignment. Everyone needs to go to Moodle and use the forum there; follow the directions. If you printed a copy, hand that in after you post to the forum.
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 the Kickstarters On Paper should have. Note these down in your daybook.
We combine your input into a CLASS LIST OF KEY ELEMENTS. Everyone will copy this onto their purple sheet.
Homework:
1. Write a page of brainstorming notes of ideas for your Kickstarter on Paper. The rough draft, due Wednesday, should be typed. It should have something in EACH of the Key Elements, but it need not be complete.
