Parts 1-3 Peer Critiques

Class Biz

1. Go over next week's objectives/benchmarks (See Senior Project page for the document)
2. SPAM 2 form due in my class inbox by 3:30 pm today!  
3. Schedule SPAM 3 if you haven't already! 
4. A note on the rough draft deadline and an extension request:  I understand some of you feel rushed writing your rough draft.  However, I am keeping the deadline as it is for several reasons. 1.  We simply don't have time to extend it and need to allow enough time for your advisor to give you feedback and for two days of peer critique next Wed. and Thur (the four day weekend is a big factor here)  2. It is a ROUGH draft and you'll have a week of class + two weekends to revise it.  3.  In college, you'll have far far less time for a paper like this and while we are giving you more time for the whole process than you would have for obvious reasons, I don't want to take too much of the pressure off.  4.  I haven't been wildly impressed by everyone's use of class time this week (other weeks have been stellar).

Agenda
Peer Critiques Parts 1-3 

1. Get into groups of three (it doesn't matter if you haven't finished writing Parts 1-3 as you will benefit from GIVING feedback)
2. Elect a taskmaster-- this person reads the instructions to the group and keeps people on task
   
3. Follow the critique protocol. Seriously. Follow it. 

Work Time

1. Revise Parts 1-3 based on the feedback you were given
2. Work on drafting Part 4
3. Conference with Ashley as needed
   

HOMEWORK:
