Workshop for Dress-Up Essay Report

Review each others' work from last night by using the following format:

Praise: This is what I really liked about your writing (What I really liked about your work was. . . )
Question: Here is a question or questions you had about their work (Something I had questions about was...)
Polish: Here are suggestions that could make the writing even better in the future (I wonder what would happen if. . . )

Class brainstorm: What do they mean?
Organization and Clarity: What does this mean for a well-written essay? what needs to be there?
Development: what does this mean for a well-written essay? what needs to be there?
Language use and engagement: same thing...


We'll review the presentation sheet together toward the end of class, then you can break off into teams and start brainstorming who is going to get what roles and how to attack your presentation (consider use of visuals, dress, and possibly other forms of media to help convey your point)

I'm starting to get the feeling that these presentations will start a bit later than Thursday. That's okay! It's worth it. Stay tuned!


HW: In journals, write a HARD-HITTING conclusion that leaves a LASTING impression on your reader.
