IE3 Writing: Lesson 7

Hi everyone,

I can't believe we've finished our first essay!  Just one more to go!

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 3, 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 3:
For our conferences, we'll be in the computer room 216, so remember to bring a USB with your draft on it and your Aogaku ID card to access the computers. 

Homework:
1.  Peer Editing Task
2.  Blog Comment #6
3.  Bring to class next week:

• your peer editing task (and a copy for me)
  
• your Aogaku ID card (to use the computers)
  
• a USB with your essay file on it (to revise/edit in the computer room)

Blog Question #6:

What did you think of the peer editing task? 
Answer the question directly - about the peer editing task you did for your partner (e.g. difficulties, what you learned, etc.). The question does not ask about the benefits of peer editing.

*Write 8-10 sentences.
*Use capitalization, punctuation & spelling correctly.
*Submit by Tuesday, June 2 by 6:00pm.
