What you need to turn in for Commentary:
Folder with your name on it, commentary rubric, commentary in MLA format (double spaced, name, class (including section), date, title, page number on each page except first), works cited page)

For those of you who missed the assignment

Here are the questions for the peer review so that you can complete the peer review and the draft.
1. Does the intro engage the reader?
2. Indicate where the main point of the story is located.
3. What does the reader learn or gain from reading this memoir?
4. Indicate where a sentence or paragraph uses dialog effectively.
5. Name a part of the excerpt where the author uses exposition. How is it effective?
6. What particular event or sentence do you like about this paragraph?
7. Are there particular words or phrases that are redundant?
8. Where should the writer describe in more detail? Where is the writer showing/creating a visual scene for the reader to walk into?
9. If you had one suggestion for improvement, what would it be?

My suggestion would be to e-maiil a friend this list of questions and a link to your blog, and request that they give you feedback. That will help you complete the memo assignment and draft.
If you missed the assignment, you won't get credit for the review, but you will proably find it difficult to do the memo otherwise.

Memo Assignment

Your next post assignment:

Post a memo to me (on your blog) about how you are going to implement the feedback from the peer review. Where are you going to go from here, and what are you going to do with this feedback? This memo should be at least 300-500 words and should deal with not only revising this paragraph, but with finishing the memoir in a way that incorporates strong visuals and insightful significance (see your memoir assignment and rubric for specific assignment criteria).

This should be in memo format, written in academic tone, and should be done no later than Thursday, September 17, 2009.
