Today we will be working on 

Stage 6 Peer Revisions.

Remember that your final portfolio is due

December 4, 2013.

Your portfolio should include 

revised copies of Stages 1-6.

Going Retro

I've been relying heavily on hard copies the last few weeks, but I wanted to post some tidbits for those who like electronic access to info.

 

Students turned in their Stage 4 final drafts on November 11th. We've been working on Stage 5 since  then, and tonight, we worked on peer responses for Stage 5.

 

Here's the schedule for the rest of the semester:

 

November 20th:  Work on Stage 5 Revisions in class.

 

November 25th: Stage 5 Presentations and Introduction to Stage 6

 

November 27th: No class; work on Stage 6 at home

 

December 2nd: Peer Response on Stage 6

 

December 4th: Portfolio including all stages (1-6) due.
