Q Post the 2nd round of your This I Believe essay here. (Remember to apply my feedback from your brainstorm to your 2nd draft. This is where you begin to tell your story of why you believe what you believe, using 1 specific example from your life. In other words, this draft should already start looking like an essay and not like the previous outline/brainstorm.) As you continue to write, refine, and revise your essay, be sure to read through and consider the examples in your book and your classmates' essays. This discussion offers a low-stakes opportunity to reflect, brainstorm, ramble, and solicit feedback. After you've submitted your essay, reply to at least 2 classmates' postings with constructive feedback (at least 50 words per reply). Rather than seeking to change someone's mind, seek out more information, clarification, elaboration. Refer also to the suggestions here for offering constructive peer feedback: Writing Toolkit: Completing a Peer Review. ________________________________________ Evaluation: This assignment will be evaluated as a completion grade. The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to practice academic writing in a low-stakes environment. Feedback: In this discussion, I will provide private feedback for each of you. I will alert you when I'm done privately commenting on your posts. Need a model? Click here (Links to an external site.) for an example second draft. Please note this particular draft is too long; the final draft of your TIB essay should be around 500 words.
