Mini-Workshop Conversation Points

1. Post the draft of your essay on your blog. If your draft and your blog are the same, simply keep blog 5 posted. Direct your parnter to the right screen.

2. As you look over your partner's draft, address the following points by leaving sentences as comments:

* is the thesis an argument? Is it a statement (2-3 sentences)? Does the writer make clear what points they will be addressing in future paragraphs?

* Are there keywords? Are those keywords defined?

* Does the writer have an paragraphs? Are the topic sentences connected to the thesis statement?

* The skill of this essay will come from adriotly sifting through multiple sources to make powerful points in a smaller amount of space (3 pages). Do you have suggestions for how the writer can do this?

3. Discuss and share the points you made with your partner and then elaborate on them in person.

4. Do you have any questions about the assignment for the professor?
