Hi Class,

Today we will:

-Freewrite

Format for Unit 2

-Discuss the conclusion and perform a brief peer review

-One-on-one help

HOMEWORK: The Final Draft of the Reflective Annotated Bibliography is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday. Edit and proofread your project with care. I advise each student to ask at least one person read their work before turning it in. Bring a printed copy of the final draft and all process work (peer reviews and earlier drafts). Participation points will be awarded for having this project ready to hand in to me at the beginning of class.

Proofing Advice:

1. Buy a friend a cup of coffee and have them read over your essay and make comments.
2. Pay a friend/colleague a nickel for every mistake or problem that they find.
3. Read your essay out loud. Enunciate each word. If something is wrong, your ear usually picks it up.
4. Read “backwards.” This is a technique used by professional editors: starting at the end of your essay, read each sentence in reverse order (don’t read the words in reverse order).
5. Replace all weak verbs; change passive verbs to active verbs.
