Tuesday, 12/12 is a “Reading Day.” This is traditionally a day devoted to studying for final exams or working on final projects. There are no classes scheduled on this day!
Before class on Thursday, 12/14, students will…
- Continue drafting Final Reflection and revising one Major Writing Assignment.
- Write a post titled Full Name, Revision Decision. Save it under the category Final Portfolio.
- Look over the feedback on the assignment you will revise and write a paragraph answering the following questions: What will you revise? Why? How/what steps will you take to complete your revision?
- If you do not wish to revise any of your major writing assignments, please explain why.
- This is one of those low-stakes writing assignments!
During class, we will…
- Trade your first draft of your Final Reflection with your partner.
- Look at the questions that are to be answered on the Major Assignments > Final Reflection & Portfolio page.
- Does your partner’s essay fulfill every question? Discuss!
- Share your U3 projects with your small group–and the class! This is a time to celebrate what you’ve accomplished this semester!
Homework:
- Continue working on your Final Reflection and Portfolio.
- Email me links to any low-stakes writing that you have missed this semester by Tuesday, 12/19.
During class on Monday, 12/19, we will…
- Students who attend class will have an opportunity to discuss their Final Reflection and any revised work with the professor.
- Attendance is encouraged, but not required–however, this is an opportunity to talk one-on-one about your writing and/or the status of your grade in this course!

During class on Tuesday, 12/19, we will…
- Attendance is optional. Come if you have questions about your grade (I won’t have the portfolio graded, but we can talk about what you can expect). If you need a place to crash, come to the classroom and you can sleep/eat/study.
- All low-stakes writing must be posted by 11:59PM on 12/19! If you look at the GradeBook and see you missed something, you have a small window of time to make up that work!
- HOWEVER, make sure you email me the links so I can easily check the work.
