Activities for This Week

1. (Optional) You can still weigh in on the last major project. We’ve only had one suggestion for the fourth major project. The paragraph below has the details on how you can add a suggestion.
   

   I originally planned to have you do a presentation of your writing guide, but the publication choices you have made for your group writing guides may not work well for a presentation. As a result, I am opening discussion in #general in Slack for suggestions for what would be the most valuable group writing activity to do for your last major project. You can make a suggestion or add an emoji vote/reaction to someone else’s suggestion. Please use the hashtag #altassignment when you post an idea so that I can find all the suggestions easily.

2. Share your draft among your group members and provide one another peer review feedback. At this point, you should have a nearly complete rough draft of all the sections of your writing guide. Spend this week going over sections of the draft that you didn’t write and give the members of your group advice on how to improve the document. Aim to give everyone feedback by the end of the week. You can then spend next week revising and polishing the guide, which is due on Friday, 4/21.
3. Enjoy the weekend. Since this weekend is part of Passover and also marks Easter Sunday and the 2017 Day of Remembrance, you do not have any work to turn in at the end of this week. Enjoy whatever you do, and come back ready to finish your Writing Guide next week.
