Information about Turning in the First Paper

Hi Everyone:

I hope you've had a nice weekend. I would like to thank you again for your understanding about the change in plans for Thursday's class. As I mentioned at the time, it is not the norm for class to be canceled in that manner. I am very happy to see that you all met up to complete the workshop--so far, all of the feedback on the experience has been incredibly positive.

Also, I have now responded to all of the rough drafts I've received via email--I hope my comments help guide you toward a Final Draft. I am very happy with what I've seen so far--you all seem to be on the right track. If you did not (or do not) send your Rough Draft, it's OK--I was not requiring that you do so, only offering assistance as needed. You have until tomorrow morning (let's say 8 am) to do so...

So, what do you need to bring in on Tuesday? Here's a checklist:

1. The Final Draft--typed, double-spaced, in MLA paper layout format (check the Writer's Reference for information if you don't know); stapled separately from all pre-work.

2. The pre-work, stapled together separately from the Final Draft: the rough draft(s) with workshop commentary, the "building blocks" exercise from last Tuesday's class, and that "nature" exercise you completed on campus.

Please remember that, for this first paper only, you will be able to revise, should you choose to do so.

On Tuesday, we will wrap-up this unit, and dive into our next one, which will put us right in the midst of the election. Get ready!
