prompt for monday, february 25

Once you have completed the glossing of your entire draft that we began in class, look over your outline, and write a blog in which you freewrite responses to some or all of the following questions. (Don't simply write one-word answers. Remember, the idea behind freewriting is to think through writing; you can't do this if you don't write for at least a couple of minutes.)

• What themes seem to recur and in what ways?
• What themes or ideas in the draft surprise you? If so, why were you surprised? Are these themes developed enough or should you do more? How can you do this?
• Do any of the issues or themes you've noticed not seem to fit with the rest of the draft? Why not? Are there possible connections here worth pursuing? If so, how would you develop these issues? If not, do you need these ideas in the next draft of this paper?
• Think about how you have organized the information in this paper. Do you move from personal experience to public information? Or vice versa? Or back and forth? Is there information that you tell later that would be more helpful to your audience if told earlier, or vice versa? Would any other method of organization work better?
• Finally, is there any repetition that needs to be eliminated? Ideas or transitions between ideas that are missing?
