Workshop: Q5 What assignment(s) are you considering to create a supplement to? How do you think you want to approach the supplement?

Workshop: Q6 When you think about yourself as a writer, what are you thoughts? How do you understand your relationship to writing? Do you think it has changed at all since the beginning of the semester? If so, how? After this semester, what is something that you know you want to work on?

Wrap-up Today we: Workshop! Next time: Peer Review Revision Portion of Final Portfolio Preparation: Choose an assignment to revise for the Final Portfolio -- it's ok if this ends up changing, but have one specific document to bring in to class. Preparation continued: Whether or not you begin to actually make revisions to the assignment, I would like you to bring a set of questions about what you want your reviewer to be looking for or answering. For example: does my structure make sense? Do I have enough detail? What do you think of the third paragraph?
