Thoughts on Stage I
While you're revising your paper, here are a few things for you to consider (these are the guided discussion questions from our peer review session and ::hint hint hint:: what I'm going to be looking for while grading).
1. What story is told in the essay? Does the narrative connect to the author's development as a reader/writer/learner?
2. Does the author include vivid details? Do these details contribute to the narrative in a meaningful way?
3. What significance does the essay have to your literacy i.e -- who you are as a writer today? Is this signficance implied or stated?
4. What connection does the narrative have to D&W or our class discussions? Is this connection clear to the reader? (This is going to distinguish an A paper from all others)
Feel free to pose any questions you have below.

When we're writing the half page response to the paper are these the questions we're supposed to answer?
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm seeing this a bit late.
You don't have to respond to all of the questions above on your critiques, but these might be some helpful starting off points for your discussion. This is, afterall, what I'm looking for awhile grading your literacy narratives!
Hope this helps!
