Revise your rough draft into a complete draft.
- This should be at least 1000 words, but preferably longer.
By Sunday at 5PM email me and your partners your complete draft.
- Please double space, include a heading and a title. The heading should have your name, the assignment, complete draft, and the date.
- Review all of chapter 14 in the CW. Once you have your partners' drafts, print them off, read them, and use the discussion in Chapter 14 to guide your response.
Write a letter to the author concerning revision (at least one page, no more than two):
- Start with scope: is this a life place essay? If so then move on to more localized edits. If grammatical issues pop up, be sure to address them. Make sure bioregionalism is discussed and that Missoula plays a role.
- Review the assignment sheet and make sure the essay hits all points outlined there.
- If the essay seems strong, think about how it could be stronger. Does the introduction grip you? Does the conclusion leave you feeling complete? Would one section be a stronger start or ending? Would research bolster the authority of the author or provide a means to new leaps in understanding?
- Be sure to offer edits on the draft suggesting line edits, structural changes, and marking out which parts are engaging and which lose your interest. These points don't need to show up in your letter, but should be prepared for class.
Email this letter to me before class on Tuesday.
