Troubleshooting First Drafts of Catalog Entries

Below you'll find three catalog entries from last year that were submitted as drafts. Your draft (5 points) is due this week (Monday's section is due on Wednesday, March 22. Tuesday's sections are due on Thursday, March 23.) Upload to Populi no later than an hour before your class starts.

During class today, you'll work in a group with two or three classmates to troubleshoot one of the following three drafts. Your group's task is to correct the things that are clearly wrong and also to suggest improvements. Fixing format and spelling/grammar errors is fairly straightforward, but other issues are less obvious. For instance, maybe the writer never really describes the work, or maybe the writer doesn't connect the ideas behind the work with larger socio-cultural concerns. 

Each group will have about ten minutes to present their findings.
