Let’s go around the room, making an effort to highlight as many different authors—both professional and in this class—as we can. Read the passage you admire, remind us where it comes from, and tells us what strikes you about it.

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!)
