Find your name on the list of partners below. Before Monday’s class, you must read that person’s rough draft of their essay, and post a comment on their post with your feedback. You should read their essay at least twice, and write at least 300 words of feedback.

Instead of correcting their grammar or punctuation or usage errors, which we’ll all have on rough drafts, try to think with them about the essay they are trying to write, and give suggestions about how to arrive at that clear and effective final draft. Items to consider: Paragraphing (too long/short/off-topic), Organization (think of my outline model), Thesis, P-I-E argumentation, Tone/Register (appropriate/effect?), and any other comments you might have.

All,

After speaking with several of you and watching the rough drafts (not) come in today, I think it’s fair to give you a couple more days. I’ve edited our unit 1 timeline as follows: we will have class *Wednesday @ 6 PM*, your rough drafts are *due before then*, we will hold the *peer review session on Monday 3/15*, and your *final drafts will still be due Friday 3/19*.

I will see you all in Zoom on Wednesday afternoon.

Best,
Professor Reichert
