There is a lot on your plates this week, so if you have questions about what is due when, please don’t hesitate to ask us.
Your biggest piece of work right now is your book review assignment (which is located under downloadable files if you don’t have one). Between now and class on Tuesday, you should do the following:
1. Write a draft of your book review according to the assignment.
2. Make a copy of this draft and take it to your writing tutor and discuss it. Then, incorporate those comments into a second draft.
3. Take this second draft to your peer group for comments. Make one copy of the draft for each member of the group and read your review aloud. Group members will write comments in the margins and also give you oral feedback. Take these drafts and attach them to your original. Then, incorporating all of this feedback, write a final draft.
It doesn’t matter if you see your writing tutor, or work with your peer group first.
All of these drafts (your originals and the ones with comments from your tutor and peers) are due at 10 am on Tuesday. Along with a poster.
Looking ahead: Tuesday of week 8 you will begin the process of peer reviewing your entire prospectus assignment. So, be prepared to be working on that when your book review assignment is complete. You will also be required to take a draft of this to your tutor during Week 8, so make your appointments!
