Hi All,

Just a reminder to post your first drafts and your comments on the OpenLab!

  • Those of you who were late posting your first drafts of the narrative essays still can until 5 pm today.
  • You can comment on posts any time before 10 am tomorrow.

If you need to consult it, yesterday’s TO-DO List is here. There are three questions to refer to responding to peer’s posts:

  1. What is the story about? In a few sentences, try to sum up what happens in this story/essay.
  2. Record one sentence or section that you particularly liked reading. Then, discuss why you like this section. ? Does something dramatic happen? Is it funny? Is it suddenly wise? Are words used in a manner that you think is effective–which words:
  3. What is one question you have about the story? Remember, these are first drafts! The pieces may be short. Regardless of length, what do you want to understand more from this story?

The full TO-Do List with group assignments and a video on how to comment if you need is here:
