Friday 7/8

Today, I'd like you to reply to a number of posts here in the blog. Firstly, reply to "The Skimm." Next, reply to the post "Concise Sentences." Also, please explore the the Purdue OWL grammar exercises-- follow the instructions in "OWL Grammar" and reply with your findings.
After completing these warm-up exercised, please conduct one final workshop on your proposal.  Be sure you submit it to me as a Google doc by the end of class today.

For homework, please review each of your graded major essays.  Type up a summary of my comments.  Be prepared to discuss them all with me.  For each essay, also compose a paragraph explaining your own original ideas for revising them-- changing them to significantly improve them.  This should result in 2 paragraphs of reflection on each essay.

This should be in MLA format (think of a good title), be around 250 words (a whole page of text).
