Hi everyone,

As a courtesy, I’ve decided to  remind you about the expectations for the workshop next class session. Workshops are valuable days as they offer you a lot of insights into your writing process and how you can improve as a writer. Reading the work of others and critiquing it also offers insight into your own writing. Take this process seriously, and I promise you it will pay off.

Please not that only those students who have completed their rough drafts will be permitted to participate in the workshop and will receive attendance and participation credit for the day. 

Those who did not complete their rough draft, or have an incomplete rough draft, will not be permitted to participate. 

All of the following requirements should be followed for participation:

1)      Rough draft should be printed in two physical copies (make sure to staple them).

2)      Rough draft should be three full pages, at minimum, typed and double spaced. 

3)      Rough draft should include a Works Cited page with your two library sources (at minimum, you may use more if you like), and Kindred.

4)      It should go without saying, but include your research in the essay itself—don’t just list sources you “plan to use later” on the Works Cited page. Always research first, then write.

5)      Show up to class on time. I assign the pairs at the beginning of class, and won’t interrupt pairs for latecomers.

Thanks everyone! Let me know if you have questions. See you next class!
