CWoD - CADRE
You should by now have a printed copy of your rough draft from which to work on revising and editing - if you left it with me, it is in the crate on my desk. Ask the sub for assistance locating it and retrieving it. KEEP YOUR PAPERS WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE TODAY.
I repeat ... KEEP YOUR PAPERS WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE TODAY.
And since 5 of you were on your phones and not paying attention ... KEEP YOUR PAPERS WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE TODAY.
Today, in class, we are going to focus on peer review of your work - so you will need to find a classmate to partner with if you have a copy of your rough draft. If you do not have a printed copy, and there's no discussion or excuses here ,,, you either do or you do not, then you need to work quietly and individually on completing your rough draft first and foremost. You will have to find someone to provide you peer feedback outside of class once you have it printed.
Use the following worksheet as a guide for your peer feedback:
Peer Editing Worksheet
In the interest of conserving paper, you will provide your feedback on the BACK of the pages of the rough draft you read. Answer all of the questions to the best of your ability ... but keep your responses brief and to the point. Provide REAL FEEDBACK and constructive criticism and not a bunch of flowery nonsense like "GOOD JOB" or "THIS WAS GOOD" ... this is about helping your partner improve his/her work ... not about moral support.
Be sure that you put your name at the top of the paper you're evaluating so it is easy to identify who provided the feedback. Keep responses to a sentence or two unless you MUST say more. As you read, note problems you see with spelling, grammar, and MLA form. Help your partner find as many areas for improvement as you possibly can.
If you finish before the end of the period, keep working on your own paper (and get caught up on the parts of the paper we've been working on the past few days)
Reminder - next week we are in the computer lab Monday - Thursday and your Final Drafts are DUE on Thursday, 2/26.
Keep in mind, the FINAL DRAFT is 3 major grades. The revising and editing (which MUST be handwritten on a copy of the rough draft) is another MAJOR grade.
