Activity: Writing Workshop (GRADED)

Following up on the discussion forum from the previous page, it’s time to workshop the Writing Plan you chose in the forum.

NOTE: This activity will be graded based on completion.

Your responses to the questions below will be saved to the Notebook, which can be found under the Tools menu, under the wrench icon to the upper right of your screen. At the end of the exercise, you will download all of your responses to a single Word document by following the directions at the bottom of this page. You will then upload that document to your peer’s original post.

1. Review the Writing Plans your peers posted on the Discussion Forum. Copy and paste the Writing Plan you will workshop in the space below

2. In your own words, identify the argument of your peer’s persuasive essay. What is he or she aiming to prove?

3. Has your peer adequately addressed opposing viewpoints?

4. Which of the summaries (or which sections of the summaries) could use more clarification? How could your peer’s summaries be improved? Please paste an example and, if appropriate, offer your own edits.

5. Has your peer provided adequate credentialing information? If so, how can you tell the source is credible? If not, what could your peer add to establish the reliability of the source?

6. Do the sources your peer describes in the annotated bibliography connect to his/her argument in a clear and easy-to-understand manner? If so, how so? If not, what are some ways in which your peer could strengthen those connections?

7. Does your peer acknowledge a counterargument in one of the annotations? If a counterargument is presented, does he/she provide a persuasive rebuttal? If no counterargument is presented, can you anticipate some of the objections your peer should take into consideration?

8. Evaluate the sources your peer has selected. Which sources do you find to be the strongest? Why do you think they are strong, and how do they support your peer’s key points? Are there ways the sources could support those key points that your peer has overlooked? Be specific.
