IE3 Spring 2013: Lesson 7

Hi everyone,

I can't believe we're half way through the semester!

Revising and Editing:
In today's class, we learned about revising and editing.  When you revise, you correct the content and structure of your research paper.  When you edit, you correct grammar and style mistakes.  

You then have some time to work on your peer editing task.  For this task, you will revise/edit your partner's concluding paragraph.  You need to complete the following for this task:

1. complete the Peer Editing Worksheet
2. make revision corrections (using blue pen) on your partner's paragraph
3. make editing corrections (using red pen) on your partner's paragraph
4. Make a copy of the worksheet and your partner's concluding paragraph (with your corrections)

Conferences:
For our lesson on June 5, we will be having conferences.  You will be able to discuss your first drafts with me in an individual meeting during class while other students revise/edit their drafts.  Make sure you prepare your list of questions for me before our conferences.  

Computer Room for June 5 (1st period):
For our conferences, we'll be in the computer room 15402, so remember to bring a USB and your Aogaku ID card to access the computers. 

Homework:
1.  Discussions
2.  Blog Comment #5
3.  Journal Topic #5:  an achievement (達成)
