Schedule details for the next couple weeks
Tues (tomorrow): peer review of ideas for the final project. Come to class tomorrow with your rough ideas and bounce them off your peers in order to make them interesting, feasible and smart. I'll come around to groups to help out. If you have time left over, you can draft your proposal (due Thurs) and run that by your peers, too.
Thurs: resume/cover letter/personal statement workshop. Bring a rough draft resume or cover letter or personal statement (my personal order of preference) in order to get the most out of the workshop. I'll talk for a bit about basic expectations in these genres and I'll give you handouts of examples and things to think about when you're writing these things. With time left over, you can get together in your groups and apply your newfound knowledge of these genres on each other's work. (also, your proposal is due to me via email by classtime this day)
Tues, April 4: LIBRARY DAY. Do the CLUE library tutorial online in preparation for the meeting: http://clue.library.wisc.edu/ . PRINT OUT YOUR QUIZZES!! Bring them to me at the library. We'll meet in Memorial Library, room 436. The librarian will give a short presentation and introduce you to some resources the library can offer to help you work on your final project. You'll have some time to research on your own while he and I go around to your computer to help you out. The library day is part of the requirement of English 201, but it's also a really useful way to acquaint yourself with the library's vast resources and how to access them.
Thurs, April 6: peer review of projects. At this point, you should have at least a rough version of your project--an outline, research, a few pages of writing, something like that.
