11.25 Worskshop

This evenings class was a workshop.  Writing posted to your site was returned to your email with comments  meant to direct your work during the class.

As you find patterns which need revision in your work: post them to your site on the page for "sentence patterns."  Each of you will have different patterns.  As stated in class, individuals do not make errors randomly - but in systematic ways.  By identifying and naming your patterns for error, you will be develop NEW patterns for  composing and revising your work that will be closer approximations of standard written English.

Next week, 12.2, is the last week I will be giving written feedback. If you do not require further comments from me and you have submitted 7 or more pages of writing, you are not required to submit your work.   For feedback, send your essay (updated using track changes) to the course email by Sunday, 3:00, 12.1.  This is the last week I will be providing written feedback before your final drafts are due on 12.16.

We have only 3 classes remaining.  The schedule is as follows
12.2: workshop; presentation on writing about composing processes

12.9: discussion of revision; workshop on revising

12.16: final memoir/biography + reflective writing due as attachments sent to course email by the end of class
