Wednesday: in class reflection and Friday's post

Before you leave class today, you will need to print out a short reflection for me. Focus on REVISION, especially the last assignment of the article review, the revision into a designed document, and what you learned that you will use in the final assignment. Save a copy for yourself!  Active, specific reflection is associated with improved writing for audience, context, and purpose.

What seemed most daunting about the article review assignment?


Did you write the opening late or early in the drafting process?


What meta discourse strategies did you use (first person/second person announcements/signposts, counting out)


How complex were the definition/description paragraph(s) content for your reader?


REVISION


Did the GroupMe ap help you in revising this document at any stage before turning in the first version?


Did you use the two days of peer review in class to advantage or, in other words, did you just delay your writing work to that last day; Be honest, this is for science." -- says the five-fingered Count R. )


What changes to the text did you make in the revision to the designed document (length, revised ending, better transition elements)


Name two or three MS Word techniques you learned or tried in this design assignment?


LOOKING FORWARD

Name a technique or approach that you will use in the final project document.
