S'lright . . . here's the skinny on Thurs and turkey-day Tuesday:
Thursday:
Finished group reports about Said. Tried to show them a YouTube interview with Said in which they were to look for connections to autoethnography, contact zone, etc, but broken blinds made it impossible to see the screen. Assigned this work for them to do on their own. We also talked a bit about budget situation and their inability to find enough open classes. Will bring complaint form in for them and get them to write letters to State Legislature.
Tuesday:
Talked about Said interview. Then, peer workshop inspired by Chloe's and Erica's classes.
Workshop
Pairs, exchange papers
First read, on a piece of paper
· What is the project?
· What is at stake?
· What writerly strategies do you see?

· Recommendations for revision
Second read, on the essay itself
· Check marks where you are interested
· Plus signs where they could expand, add to text
· Suggestions for moving text
· Squiggle under awkward sentences
· Circle where need quote sandwich
