Post-Workshop Memo
Please email me another memo, this one reporting on where you now stand with your piece after having received responses to it from your group. Use Post-Workshop Memo as your subject line. Tell me about:
- What were the most important or useful responses you got to your draft?
- What do you now plan to add, change, or cut? (Be as specific as you can.)
- What questions do you have for me? (Be as specific as you can.)
I will reply to this memo next week. That will be how I respond to your first draft. (PS, and NB: Make sure you leave me with a print copy of your first draft!)
