7 Deadly Sins Paper and Conclusions

Hi Everyone,

Today I'd like for you to work on the following four things:

1. Peer URL Exchange: Make sure that your partner from last week has the URL for your blog so that they can go in and give you some feedback on the different introductions you created for your "Food Paper."

2. Peer Feedback--"Food Paper": Give your partner feedback on the different introductions that they created for their "Food Paper." Think about the following:

• What do you think about each introduction?
• What are the strengths of each one?
• Which one is your favorite way to begin the paper? Explain why.

3. Reflect--"7 Deadly Sins Paper" POST #1: Next, you can focus on creating a blog entry reflecting on your "7 Deadly Sins Paper." Use the questions below to help guide your reflection:

• What were you thinking when you first drafted this paper and read the "All Seven Deadly Sins Committed at Church Bake Sale" a few months ago?
• What did you think of the draft as you worked on it?
• What did you struggle with?
• What came easy for you in this draft?
• What did you learn about exemplification while working on this draft?
• What did you think of this draft when you read it again yesterday?
• What are the greatest strengths of the paper as you look at it now?
• What are the weaknesses as you look at it now?
• Based on the self-revision green sheet you completed yesterday, what do you need to work on?

Be specific as you discuss changes you will make and be sure to cite your own work. By cite, I mean, quote your own drafts and peer-revision sheet to help prove why you feel the way that you do in the reflection.

Once you finish this reflection, copy and paste the first draft in italics just below it, spell-check, and publish your post.

4. Revise--POST #2: Once you have finished your reflection and posted it, revise your "7 Deadly Sins Paper" using the information that you created on the green self-revision sheet. Once you have revised this draft (Draft #2), write a brief 1-paragraph reflection explaining what you think about the revised paper. Copy and paste your revised draft below it in italics, spell check it, and then publish the post.

5. Conclusions--POST #3: The next assignment and revision of this paper will focus on conclusions. I think you have plenty to work on for today but if you should finish the work described above, see me for a handout on conclusions.

Enjoy the writing time today and don't waste time. I will expect all of this done by the end of class tomorrow and Friday we will move onto something new.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Ms. Basko
