4.12 Workshop + Autoethnographies

Drafts for the autoethnographies are due in the ENG3005waw@gmail.com account on later that Monday, April 23.  Essays received after that date will be marked down one grade for each subsequent day they are late.


I provided general feedback on autoethnographies turned in so far.   Your overall writing is strong, you generally collected acceptable data, and most of you came up with impressive observations about how your writing process worked, and what you needed to work on.
To work on:
providing detailed examples to support your claims
revising your work - in particular, making revisions that adjust, delete, substitute and re-locate material in relation  to "additions."

You turned in written suggestions for what to do with the autoethnography assignment.  The assessments came in 5 to 5, with equal numbers who felt the assignment should be ditched versus worth keeping.  It was a LOT of work for me as well - so I am not sure which side my vote is on..I received many excellent suggestions for how to improve the assignment if it included in the course next year.  Thank you for your help, and I am going to think this over.

The rest of the class was devoted to workshop.

On Thursday you will continue to work on the Discourse community project.  You should be posting your notes + your drafty writing to the portfolio site. If you have questions - let me know.

See you on Thursday.
