On Wednesday, 9/20, we will be completing a peer review activity in class. To do so, you will need to bring the following:

• A typed, hard-copy rough draft of your Unit 1 essay. This draft must be at least 800 words. I will be checking your drafts in class before we start in order to give you credit.
  • Again, make sure your draft is TYPED. Also, please use a 12 pt., Times New Roman font, and double-space your essay.
• Something to write with.

Also, please be prepared to do a little in-class work on your essay. This means bringing pens/paper, a laptop, and/or a tablet.

You have several tasks to complete before I see you on Monday, 9/18

1. Begin earnestly planning and WRITING a draft of your Unit 1 Education Narrative. (Remember that, as listed on the schedule, a rough draft of your Education Narrative of at least 800 words will be due on WEDNESDAY 9/20).
2. Watch this slide show about emailing a professor, and then write me an email before we meet either: 
   • Asking me a question about Unit 1. This can be a question you have about the assignment or about your essay in particular OR
   • Explaining to me how your essay is going.
3. Come to class on Monday prepared to do a little in-class work on your essay. This means coming to class on Monday with either pens/paper, a personal laptop, or a tablet.
   • If you do not have access to a personal laptop or tablet but would like to work on one, keep in mind that you are able to check one out from the library for one week at a time. See this link for more information: https://library.citytech.cuny.edu/services/multimedia/index.php
