Tonight you workshopped the data sections of your research essay (very briefly), and we talked (VERY briefly) about conventions for introducing and closing essays.
We also re-visited writing center philosophies and talked about what (if anything) had changed in your perspective on how a writing center should operate. We then set forward the information we thought should be addressed in a comprehensive writing center philosophy, as will as a general form for presenting that information. We came up with the following categories you would use to organize your philosophy.
1. A statement of overarching principles: the "rules of thumb" or guiding assumptions that underlie the practices and policies stated under the following categories.
2. Student responsibilities
3. Tutor responsibilities
4. Director responsibilities
5. Faculty responsibilities
6. Institutional responsibilities
Blog 21: Post your draft Research Essay. Come to class prepared to present your essay to your classmates. If you have a particular request for help/feedback = write this statement at the top of your post.
I will be reading blogs 15-20 over the weekend and providing you with feedback. We have been discussing these posts as we worked through developing your essay, so I may not be telling you anything new - but it will be all in one place and in time for you to do your final revisions to your essay.
Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.
