Goal for the day: Start your writing
Most are just finishing their outlines at this point, and so we're re-adjusting the goals for this week. I should be checking off outlines today. You're goal should be to have a rough draft done by Friday, or the latest, by next Monday. This will give you a week to refine your work. Next week we'll be doing critique, so you must come with something to share.
If you get me a draft on Friday, I'll return it to you on Monday, and you'll have the whole week then to address my comments. I will push everyone to think more deeply after this first draft. Don't be surprised if you need to read more after getting back my comments. If I ask questions on your draft and you don't address them, expect the same questions during your presentation.
As you start writing, review the Elements Handout and one of the student exemplars posted on under Student Resources on my DP. Remember the annotated version of HYPERLINK this annotated outline that we looked at last week. Consider as you read:
1. How does the author approach each Element?
2. Given the differences between this topic and yours, how will YOU approach each element?
Here is the weekly planner for the week.
Homework due Tuesday, April 14th
Finish your outline or write for at least 45 minutes
