Complete and share our textbook’s Exercise 5.2 and 5.4.
1. By yourself, work with at least two of the brainstorming techniques described on pp. 69-73.
Post your results here.
2. Working with the topic you’ve chosen (which should align with your pathway/career interest), create and share a working thesis similar to the examples on pp. 76-79.
Discussion post:
Post a full Rough Draft of your essay as an attachment.
Include a brief note for your instructor and fellow students that explains, in detail, at least three specific worries/concerns you have about your paper.
Be sure to post by the deadline listed on the syllabus/schedule. The day this thread closes/locks is the day the peer review is due, which is not the same as when your own draft is due; your own rough draft is always due days earlier to ensure enough drafts are posted for peers to review.
For your peer response, select a peer who has not yet received a peer review and complete a review by:
Craft your review as a thoughtful letter (that is, direct your response directly to that student, write in complete sentences, do not merely list, etc.) that includes an analysis of the essay’s thesis/focus, audience/purpose, organization, development. These are known as “big picture” elements or higher order concerns.
Point to at least two big picture elements that are working successfully in your peer’s draft, and explain how so
Point to at least two big picture elements that are still concerns, with specific suggestions for how to revise
Point to at least one lower order concern (sentence structure, punctuation, word choice, spelling–or formatting or documentation), with specific suggestions for how to edit.
