1. Small Group Paper Workshop

• Using our Criteria for Success, workshop each others' papers. 
  • ​The best use of a peer is often to give them something focused to comment on that they can help you with. 
  • Offer suggestions/not criticism. 

2. Tip: Linger with your texts!

• Back up claims with specific evidence. 
• How do the texts talk to each other? 
• How do they compliment and complicate each other? 
• How does this symmetry or tension between your texts lead you to your fresh, innovative claim? 

3. Finish Rough Draft. Confer with Feliks or share your paper with a note for targeted feedback.
