What to do to get ahead.

It is taking longer for the groups to form than I had anticipated. It looks like they will all be in place by the end of the week (Sunday, 8 June), but I don't want to assign any additional work until then. So...

If you've formed your group and created a shared google document in which every group member has updated their contact information, you are caught up.

If you want to get ahead and do some of the work for next week (Monday, 9 June - Sunday, 15 June), here's how:

1) Each student should create a google document called "MyName, First Five Rhetorical Analysis, ENG 111, Summer 2008."
2) Copy all five of your rhetorical analysis into this document. These are the revised analysis you've already posted to the email list.
3) Share the document you create with your group members and me (prof.brandon@gmail.com).
4) Take some time to read through your group's analysis--either on the list or as they post the compiled version in their google doc--and try to figure out ideas and insights you can apply from their work to improve your own.
5) Make improvements on your analysis. (Steve's Law of Writing No. 1: "There is always something you can do to make a message more successful. The limiting factor is how much time your have and how much effort you want to put in.")
6) Wait for further instructions (which will have you practicing different proofreading techniques by editing your group's revised analysis).
