We will not be meeting this Thursday, so our assignment (and
classwork) will be submitted (and conducted) on D2L. There are two aspects of
the assignment.
For the first task, you will need to complete is composing a
rough draft of the material you’ve gathered on your classmate whom you’ve
interviewed. This draft should consist primarily of reporting, but if you are
able to expand on their information with research and reflection, feel free to
move forward. For now, you are only required to introduce this classmate to the
rest of your group, based on the information you have acquired from them in
your interviews. If you still need to ask additional questions, make sure to do
so as soon as possible, this rough draft needs to be posted to the D2L
discussion page by 2:00pm, this Thursday (January 24th).
I have setup a discussion titled, “Profile Workshop,” on
D2L. You will need to upload your draft, in a compatible document (.doc, .docx,
.pdf, .rtf) file format, to this forum. Your draft should be about two pages,
double-spaced, with no additional white space between paragraphs. Make sure to
set your font to 12-point, Times New Roman, and your margins to 1” on all
sides. Also, include a header, a heading, and a title in MLA format (there’s an
example on page 446 of Everyone’s an Author textbook).
The second part of this assignment is to provide feedback to
each member of your group. As a response to each rough draft, you’ll need to
offer suggestions to your peers in regards to follow-up questions, areas that
should be focused on/developed, or any other feedback that is constructive and
helpful. Avoid saying you like or dislike what your peers have written to this
point. Your feedback can be a bulleted list, a short paragraph, a series of
questions—whatever form you want, so long as it provides feedback. Please have these
replies posted by 11:59pm Thursday.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I
will update this blog with a reading assignment on Thursday.
