R10: Final workshop

I’d like to change our procedure slightly for the final workshop.

Please read all of the writings by your group members and be ready to talk about them when your group meets. But rather than responding to four essays, I’d like you to concentrate your attention on one piece. Follow the same response format that we’ve used so far:

  1. A letter to author stating what the project is, what is working, and what needs more work
  2. A few marginal comments that point to specific moments where the author might do more work in revision.

But also:

  1. Use the Track Changes function to suggest specific, micro-level revisions to the author’s text (as many as you feel might be useful). That is, I’d like you to function not only as a reader but as an editor of the text.

I would then like the “editor” of each author’s draft—rather than the author—to direct discussion of her or his text in the workshop.

The editor/author pairs in each group are:

Group 1

Andrew edits Grace

Grace edits Margrette

Margrette edits Zeewan

Zeewan edits Xan

Group 2

Brea edits Lawson
