Drafts of your research project essays are due Saturday, May 16 (by midnight). Email your draft to me and your writing group. In your email, include a cover letter with the following information:

1. A description of the motive and thesis of your project, explained as simply as possible.

2. Some reflection your essay’s strengths.

3. Questions about aspects of the essay you’d most like feedback on–or what you think needs the most work.

In class the following Tuesday, you will meet in your writing groups to give each other feedback. Please read your group’s essays carefully before class and make notes. We will also conduct some workshop exercises as a class.

It’s optional, but it’s also a good idea to send your draft to your anthology group and ask for feedback. The more, the better!
