Announcement: ENG 220 Students: I am home recovering from an infectious virus today (!), and you will have a colleague of mine walk you through your peer review for the Moffett paper. If you emailed me over the weekend I will try and answer today; I was unable to do any email over the weekend. The class will end one-hour early today because of your Writing Center Observations, like last week. See you Friday.
For the Moffett paper, please break down into groups of three (if there is an odd number of people, split into a pair, rather than any group grow larger than three). Supply your team with copies of the paper, and read your draft aloud to your partners. Teams will be listening/reading to see if the paper, as a whole, has answered the assignment. You may want to review the assignment.
Different drafts will be at different stages. The advice you need to give your team will reflect what they need to do to bring their draft to an "A" final draft for Friday. That may mean revising the thesis and supporting paragraphs, or making them more specific, or finding more research. It also may mean reorganizing the prose so that it reflect the standards of the college essay we've touched on the last two weeks.
