Retrieved from www.csudh.edu/ccauthen/099SBP/STRUCTURing%20your%20writing.pptx. Your task is to first review the assignment for this module in which you are asked to write a short process essay describing a process for a new colleague. Then, you should focus on one paragraph that you will include in your essay. Share this with the class. However, you must pay close attention to the given-new contract. You will want to practice the given-new contract in this paragraph. Remember, each new idea builds on the previous idea!
Once you have shared your paragraph, your task will be to evaluate and provide feedback to your classmates on their paragraphs.
As you provide feedback to your classmates, you should respond to the following:
• Is the paragraph clearly written? Does it flow well according to the given-new contract? • Are there any sentences that do not follow the given-new contract? If so, which ones? • Do you have any suggestions for revisions that would make the paragraph stronger? If so, what are they? Post your primary response (150 – 200 words). Read any postings already provided by your instructor or fellow students. Read and respond to the conclusions drawn by at least two of your classmates. Remember to read the feedback to your own major postings and reply to it throughout the module.
Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59. Your responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM.
Consult the Discussion Posting Guide for information about writing your discussion posts. It is recommended that you write your post in a document first. Check your work and correct any spelling or grammatical errors. When you are ready to make your initial post, click on "Reply." Then copy/paste the text into the message field, and click “Post Reply.”
To respond to a peer, click “Reply” beneath her or his post and continue as with an initial post.
