Preparing for English 0950 Conferences / Spring 2008

1.) Remember your conference day and time: __________________________.  Forgotten or skipped conferences will not be made up under any circumstances.  Conferences will be held in Scott’s office, Humanities 131 (in the corner of the building near classroom H 154).

2.) If you have any questions at all about my notes on your Essay #1, write them down and bring them and the portfolio with you.

3.) Continue to work on your Essay #2 and bring a new draft with you.  This draft should show changes -- Adding, Cutting, Rearranging, Rewriting -- that you’ve made since the draft you brought for the peer review on Friday, February 22, 2008.  Also, write down any specific questions you have about Essay #2 -- things you are unsure about, things you are having problems with, etc. -- and bring at least three (3) questions with you.

4.) Bring the two peer review forms from Friday, February 22, 2008, with you, especially if you have questions about what they wrote.

5.) On the days that we have conferences -- Wed. 2/27, Thurs. 2/28, Mon. 3/3, and Wed. 3/5 -- we do not meet as a class.  Use this time to continue working on Essay #2, using ideas from both the peer reviews and the conference.  An “advanced” draft of Essay #2 is due on Thursday, March 6, 2008.  Bring one (1) copy with you.  Also bring your final draft (with my writing on it) of Essay #1 with you.
