This schedule is very tentative, subject to change as needed to accomodate completion of the projects, but it gives you an idea of what we will accomplish and when we will plan to do the projects.  I will add links to resources and elaborate on the projects as they come up, making changes to the schedule almost daily.

Peer review of personal essay

To prepare for the peer review in class, read the grading criteria, and look for these qualities in the papers you read (as well as in your own).

Other useful resources for writers and for evaluating good writing are found in On-Line Writing Labs (OWLs), and I have made links to a few which I think are quite good. The best of the bunch (IMNSHO) is The Guide to Grammar and Writing. Please get familiar with and use these resources often!
