Hi Ladies,
OK, I'm kind of late with this. Sorry!
I. Open floor
II. Peer reviews
III. Sign-up sheets
IV. Demo speech practice day
V. Draft conference room assignments
I. As always...
II. Tomorrow we have in-class peer-reviews. Please distribute copies of the review form (in the TAC) to your students. When students are done, have them staple the review form to the paper they reviewed and give it back to the author. Students should be able to review 1-2 papers depending on how fast they work.
III. Tomorrow, if you haven't already done so, please pass around a sign-up sheet for draft conferences (which will be held on Friday, Oct 14). I won't tell you how long to make your conferences but, in the past, we have scheduled them in 15-10 minute blocks. Also, please pass around another sign-up sheet for the upcoming demonstration speeches. If possible, try to cap speeches at four per day.
IV. Wednesday is demo speech practice day. Last semester, we put the students in groups of two or three and let them practice going through the steps of their respective processes. Make sure the students stay on task! Don't let them use the time to sit and talk about nothing.
V. Friday is draft conference day....long, long draft conference day. Here are our room assignments so far:
Camille--Rm 135
Meg--Rm 137
Heather--Rm 111
What we have left is Molly and Haley's office and the grad student lounge. Molly and Haley, can you decide among yourselves, who will go where? Also, I know neither have you have conducted draft conference before, so please drop by the Rm 111 this week if you have questions!
OK. That's it! Ah....I can't believe the weekend is over! :-(
