Just some reminders and clarifications...
Please send your draft #2 to your peers via email, but please bring the draft packet to me on Friday.
When you post a response to your peers' blogs, make sure not to just say "Hey, I agree" but introduce some new ideas--offer a counterargument, another idea s/he hadn't considered, etc. This will be more fun if we don't all compliment each other for each entry. Just responding to an entry is a compliment implicitly! You can, of course, offer responses to more than one blog (I encourage it!), but make sure one at least is very well thought-out. Remember that just because it's online, it's not exempt from standards of language and provacativeness and grammar.
Also, please remind me of your specific angle on the paper question via email. You can send me your thesis, a short sentence, etc. I'd like to use these to construct groups for Friday (thanks to Katie!).
