1. Let's look at the rough drafts of the Essay of Introduction.
- Review the EMCC Writing Rubric - you may view a copy at any time by going to Blackboard and clicking on the Rubric button. A paper copy will be provided for your use today. Put your name on the top as the author.
- Seat yourselves in groups of four.
- You will pass your paper to the reader on the right. The first reader is the editing editor. Note mechanics' issues only. Yes, you may write on the paper!
- The second reader is the Content editor. Check subject matter, focus, and support issues. Basically, do you need to know more? If so, ask questions.
- The third reader is the Clarity editor. Check for organization. Ask yourself, "Does this make sense?" Also check for Language Usage. Ask yourself, "Do the sentences sound like standard English sentences?" Make notes and comments as needed.
- By now, the paper should be back to the author! Revise as needed. Submit the final copy in MyCompLab as noted in the assignment there. Give me the paper copy of the draft and peer editing notes. This will be worth 25 points. (Due Tuesday!)
