Second Writing Assignment for Week of Monday, 23 June-Sunday, 29 June.

If the first writing assignment for the week went well, when you look back through the text you have written over the past week, you should see a lot of advice on how to improve the claims you are making and places where you could better develop your claims. More important, your own ability to notice these places in your own writing should be improving.

Here is what you are to do for your second writing assignment this week:

1. Read through the advice you received in the first writing assingment.
2. Create a new google document called something like: "Revision 2, Group Assessment" or "Revision 2, Two New Rhetorical Analysis." Copy your old draft into this new document.
2. Revise your first draft (in the new document) based on the advice you have received.
3. Read back through your revised draft and see if there are places which weren't noted where you should revise your claims/opinions or development. Make these revisions.
4. Proofread your work once again using two of the methods you learned last week. In one pass, use the method which worked best for you last week. In a second pass, use a new proofreading method. Remember, one of the most effective proofreading methods is to have someone else (a group member?) proofread your work.
5. At the bottom of your revised drafts, make sure to note which proofreading methods you used and how effective or helpful you found them. Do this through comparing and contrasting the methods you use.
6. Again, at the bottom of your revised draft, summarize the changes you made and how these changes improved your draft.
6. Make sure to share your revised draft with me and your group.

As always, write with questions.
