Part IV Deets

 Here are the four main "things" I'll be looking for in your Part IV essays! These can also be guiding questions for your peer review discussions


1. Narrative: What story is told in the essay? Does the narrative connect to the author's development as a reader/writer/thinker/gendered-self and their experience in 1302?

2. Vivid Details: Does the author include vivid details? Do these details contribute to the narrative in a meaningful way? Examples of details, for this assignment, can be quotes from class discussions, samples of your writings, quotes/paraphrases from the readings, anecdotes from your group experiences or peer review sessions, etc.

3. Significance: What significance does the essay have to your literacy i.e -- who you are as a writer today, in contrast to who you WERE as a writer before 1302? How do you apply what you learned here to who you are, going forward from here?

4. Claim: How does the author support their claims about their development as a writer? What evidence do they provide?


DUE DATES: Drafts are due WED 4/23. PLEASE BRING 3 COPIES TO CLASS. We will be having peer review. Also, this is the one assignment you won't be getting my feedback on before putting this in your porftolio, so peer review participation will be essential.
