Pre--
Prepare for Suffixes Quiz
Lesson--
Discuss Rough Drafts and Peer Feedback.
What was valuable feedback you received?
Give feedback on your feedback--what was some feedback that was not valuable, and what would have made it valuable?
Next steps:
1) Proofread (commas, sentences, run-ons, fragments, quote usage)
2) Content (do you need to reorganize? Clarify thesis? Provide better evidence? Construct better arguments?)
3) Annotated Bibliography (spotless formatting? Relevant sources? Proofread annotations? Cite properly?
4) Review all MLA requirements and make appropriate tweaks. This might be easier on a home computer.
Post--
Review the Writing Rubric, and compare to your current draft. Try grading yourself, and see what you should improve. Begin working on your Final Draft.
