  • Continue drafting your U1 Education Narrative.
  • If you’d like me to look at your essay, come visit me during my office hour!

  • Email whatever you’ve written or hand over your copy to an assigned peer. When you receive your partner’s draft, quickly read and respond to the following questions on a worksheet I will provide.
  • Be sure to show me the worksheets before you leave for the day and then give the worksheet to your partner!
