week 5

Monday 7/20

in class: peer review of video or social media drafts:

  1. Create a new “questions” document in the drafts Google folder; put your first name first in the filename (e.g., “Madeleine questions”).
  2. In this document, write down three questions or concerns you have about your project that you’d like help with.
  3. Go over diction handout and “to be” exercise #2.
  4. In your pair, look at the project and read the author’s note of your partner.
  5. Answer the questions they ask in their “questions” document.
  6. In their author’s note, address the following:
    • Read through all of it, making any quick corrections or suggestions for small errors that you might find. Use the “add a comment” feature if it’s a PDF; if it’s a Google doc, use the Review > Suggesting setting.
    • Identify one use of the “to be” verb and suggest a revision of the sentence so that it uses an active verb instead.
    • Identify one instance where the diction could be stronger and suggest a specific change.
    • Add any final comments not covered above.
