Writing Group, Instructions

Welcome to the class writing group. Except for this week, goals and progress reports will be due by noon on Wednesdays, so that everyone has time to review each other's reports by class time on Thursday. Every week, you will need to post achievable goals below mine in the appropriate post. After the first week, you will incorporate a progress report (follow my model) as well.

Additionally, you should use your workspace to keep track of major goals, sources, to-do lists, etc.

Finally, we will all be posting examples of our work and work process on a weekly basis.


Timeline for papers:

October 14 - narrowed-down topic and at least one question that will lead to a thesis statement due at beginning of class

October 21 -- initial bibliography due; primary and secondary sources separated, Chicago format, at least 10 secondary sources

October 28 -- 1200-1500 word draft due

November 1, noon -- peer reviews of first draft due to Dr. Hofmann for return to authors by November 3

November 14, 5:00 p.m. -- Complete draft due for turnaround to peer reviewers. This should be a fairly polished draft, and have no spelling, grammar, or typographic errors.

November 18, beginning of class -- peer reviews due to Dr Hofmann


Final Draft due December 1
