Hello, well in class we talked about some of the drafts 3 and talked about the final project!!!
Don't forget to upload the final draft some time during this coming Thursday Nov. 18
Draft 3 should include points like
- how you began as a writer before reading the articles and how you have changed as a writer after reading the 13 articles.
-your "own" thoughts towards revision
1 idea for the visual in draft 3 could be
• how you were in the beginning, how your mind kept on changing, were you are at now in revision.
Next time we meet in class will be Nov. 30 to present our final projects
- don't forget to make a visual that explains what you are presenting and a metaphor or theme!
There is NO Certain Amount of Time Required for the presentation just remember to talk about each of the 6 questions asked by Dr. Saharia Phillips. Thank you :)

In-Class Presentation
Your objective:
The purpose of this last presentation is for you to reflect on the semester and share what you learned, how you changed, and how you progressed as a writer and a thinker. Essentially, this presentation is taking the place of a portfolio and of a Reflective Paper.
Questions to Address:
1.What did you learn from the course?
2.What did you learn on your own?
3.Which Projects advanced your learning the least and the most?
4.What you are your thoughts on spending one semester on the same topic? What were the pros and what were the cons?
5.What are your thoughts about revision --- how have they changed throughout the course?
6.What might you have done differently to enhance or improve your experience throughout the course?
Overall Format Requirements:
Visual – You should have some sort of visual (powerpoint, drawing, etc) that shows and supports what you verbally elaborate on and share.
Metaphor or Theme – You should have either a metaphor (similar to what we did at the beginning of the semester; however, it should be a different metaphor) or a theme used and carried through your presentation.
Grade and Due Date:
Due Date: Everyone should be ready to share their class presentation on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30 (the next day we will meet as a class). If you wish to receive full-credit, you need to be present and prepared during ALL the days that class presentations take place.
Questions:
I’ll be in my office on Thursday, November 18th during our class period if you have any questions or need further directions…

Draft Two and Three
Hello! Today in class we went over the changes made to draft two and what is expected of draft three. The due date are as follow:
*Draft 3- Due Nov. 16
*Final Copy- Due Nov. 18
Many students were struggling with their introduction, so here are some of the key points you should mention that might help you finish your intro properly.
*Draft 3- Due Nov. 16
*Final Copy- Due Nov. 18
Many students were struggling with their introduction, so here are some of the key points you should mention that might help you finish your intro properly.
- Your own thoughts
- Source connection
- Based on the two concepts that you discuss how do they relate to ALL the other aspects of revision?
- Relate your own experiences as a writer.
- Use different font color on the revised text.
- Add a small paragraph explaining the revisions you made.
- Or if you have been uploading the drafts separately this can be used to prove you've been revising.
- If you think you have enough meta-commentary then you're probably don't, there is never enough meta-commentary. However, you shouldn't just write to add length, there has to be a purpose to your writing.
- Non-text images! There must be at least one in every draft, but more than one in draft two since it's the body of your paper. Some examples of non-text images are: graphs, charts, lists, pictures, or anything that is not in paragraph form.
- Highlight most of the main ideas overall.
- Assess revision & the discussion. (Missing/underdeveloped ideas)
- Small discoveries. (things you learned/self-reflection)
Good luck!!
Raquel Echeverria.

Tuesday November 9, 2010
Today in class the following tentative schedule was reviewed:
11-16-2010 : Draft 3 due
11-18-2010 : Final copy due
11-23-2010 : No class
11-30-2010 : Presentations
12-02-2010 : Presentations/ Last day of class
The presentations are going to be similar to the metaphor presentations that we did the first week of class only this time they will be based on what we have learned about revision. The content needed will be explained later.
Draft 2, which was due today, was also reviewed today. We set off into groups according to which of the three options we chose to write about and commented on the papers we read. In this draft citations and refrences are not necessary but may be helpful. Any of the three options should contain:
Layers of Elaboration:
Personal Experiences
Observations of other writers/peers
Credibility/Reliability
Draft two should explain the intent to the reader being the transition from draft 1 to draft 2 which is the background that led to the discussion. We have to make sure the reader understands where we are heading with our idea. For those of you that chose option 1, remember that comparing and contrasting is the most important objective.
