In class today we began planning for your work in the writing center. We went over strategies for note taking so your observations will be useful for you both in your coaching work - and as a basis for writing your analytic essay. We also visited the center space.
We also spent some time going over a brainstorming process for your persuasive essay. My notes are posted with the course documents, if you want to get a feel for how I would develop a topic for this essay.
For Thursday:
Write: Turn in your draft for Project 1 (persuasive essay) as an attachment. I will not be providing feedback to this draft, rather, it is the "start" you will use for work in your conference (either Thursday, or Tuesday, depending what group you are in). The Revised Draft is Due Thursday, October 21).
Group 1 (listed below) will go to the writing center.
Alexandria Addesso, Sabrina DeJesus, Bryan Erickson, Kristi Froisland, Alexa Guillen, Rees Kalthoff, Chris OKeeffe, Dina Rodrigues, Caroline Vargas.
Erin will set you up to observe writing sessions in progress. Watch carefully, and write up the sessions you observe on the Tutor Observation Sheet. In addition to the comments, use the back to write up any additional questions, observations, ideas that came to you as you watched.
Due at the end of your time in the center: turn your observation sheet into Erin
Group 2 will report to CAS 307 and conduct writing conferences on the persuasive essay. You will work with the same partner you worked with last Thursday. The class is 75 minutes long. Manage your time so that each of you gets a 25 minute session with 5 - 10 minutes to write up notes.
Coaching partners:
Bogner – Perez
Flores – Sampson
McLaughlin –Cascone - Ventre
Ireland - Rodriguez
Due at the end of class: a plan for revising your persuasive essay from when you were the coach + a completed tutor observation sheet (from when you were the tutor). Turn the plan for revising your essay in as an attachment to an email. I will collect the completed tutor observation sheets on Tuesday.
