This week focuses on refining your final drafts through peer review and preparation for submission. I will be available for appointments on Friday to discuss your drafts—please see me after class or email to schedule. Participation points will be updated this weekend. If you're taking 1302 next semester, please let me know your instructor. Those needing to retake 1301 can join my 2:00 or 3:30 PM classes on Tuesdays. Pair up with a partner to review drafts, ensuring you identify key components like thesis statements, topic sentences, integration of quotations, and overall rhetoric effectiveness.
