Conferences are over, and I hope that they were helpful. This Tuesday we had peer review. I hope that peer review gives you all a good idea of what I will be looking for in your final drafts. The place where many of you lost points in the first project was your failure to actually revise your papers. Please use the feedback your classmates gave you to help you make actual changes to your paper (correcting grammatical errors are a good start but I also want revision in your content). If you feel like you didn't receive good feedback from your classmates, look over the peer review sheet and ask yourself if you're missing any of the things mentioned there. Maybe you don't need to include historical context to make your point, but you know it would make your analysis stronger. Revision isn't just about fixing what's wrong. It's about taking what you have and making it better. There is no such thing as a perfect paper.
Also I'm including in the Class Documents the Works Cited Page we worked on together in class to help you when formatting your Works Cited Page. It includes the entries for the 3 short stories.
