Week 9: (5/30-6/3)
| Read Introductions. |
| Read Conclusions. |
| Work on Gender Paper. This paper is
worth 60 points! Please check this link since I have modified the expectations of this assignment - you do not have to have a library source and you do not have to do the in-depth interviews. I am more concerned that you be able to incorporate citations and present a correct Works Cited page, so be sure to look at the Gender Essay Evaluation form that will be used to grade this paper.
|
| Send draft of Gender paper to an editing partner for review over
the weekend. Use the Research Edit sheet. Since there was confusion about the peer editing for the last essay, you all have the option of doing this peer editing exercise. If you gave feedback for the C/E paper, you do not have to do feedback for this essay; however, if you did NOT do any feedback for the C/E paper, you MUST do it for this. You may also choose to do an extra credit feedback if you wish some extra points!

| Read Book Review process. You will be writing this review of the book Refuge by the end of Week 10. |
