Writing workshop & fun

1. Open up last two Frankenstein writing assignments. Review comments. Write 3 goals for this writing assignment. Put those goals at the top of your rough draft and keep them there for submission.

2. At the bottom of your draft: What three things have you done well on this rough draft? What three things would you like help with?

3. Working in groups. Each member needs to read each essay and comment on the following:

  • Is the thesis clear and arguable?
  • Is each topic sentence arguable?
  • Does the analysis get to the HOW and the WHY?
  • Is there a transition sentence at the start of the second paragraph?
  • Does the final commentary provide a new, interesting, unique and fantastic insight?
4. As time permits, work on writing and/or comic.
