Yes, this video is kind of cringe. So it goes. Listen to Dr. Turner's sound advice.
You will be working with one other classmate in this exercise. Each essay should receive about 20 minutes of careful attention and discussion.
Address the following issues:
1) Does the essay have a meaningful (not generic) title? If not, suggest a couple of ideas.
2) Which of the paragraphs is the strongest? Why specifically?
3) Which of the paragraphs needs the most revision? Why specifically?
4) What's the most memorable thing about this essay? Why?
5) What did you want to hear more about? Why?
6) Go through the essay using the "reverse reading" technique and identify little errors in sentence structure (fragments and run-ons). Also check for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and the other nuts-n-bolts of writing Standard Written English.
7) Any last words or advice for improving this draft?
