4.23 And yet another workshop.

I began class by clearing up confusion over the email note about due dates.  If you turn in your work before the dates listed below, you will get full credit for your work.

Data (transcript, observations, screenshots, whatevery you uses) must be made available to me on your blog or as an attachment to an email, no later than April 25

Sections of analytic writing (lists of categories + examples, sections of data with discussions of what that data show, or other drafty representations of what you see going on in your data) must be made available to me on your blog or as an attachment to an email, no later than May 2,

Drafty writing for your essay = due the day of your presentation

Final essay = due May 9.

Meeting the deadlines will allow me and your classmates to give you feedback in time so that you can use that feedback to write a stronger final essay.


Revised plan for Thursday: the original plan for Thursday was that we would go over the rubric and you would analyze your essays and make a plan for revision. It is clear the most of you are not ready to do that, and that it would be more useful to begin the presentations. This will allow us to talk through how to present data analysis in a paper in a way that provides feedback for the writer - and lets the rest of the class get some ideas for how to present their own data.

Jenna, Krista, Stephaniem and (reluctantly) Jillian have agreed to present their drafty writing on Thursday.

Blog 24: Jenna, Krista, Stephanie and Jillian will post their draft-so-far. The rest of you should post sections of analysis or writing for your essay that you would like feedback on (I will have feedback for you by next Tuesday - or in a conference if you schedule one).

Good class today!
