HW 36 - Triangle Partner Help

For this assignment, due by Friday 8:30am, please help your triangle partners make progress on their cool papers.

Let's try a different format.

1. Please re-write each person's main-idea/big-insight/thesis so that it is vivider, clearer, sharper. If you don't think your version is an improvement try again. If its still not, offer it anyway, with an apology.
2. Then write a paragraph for the person's main idea - some evidence, a story, a strong connection, some implications, etc. Write it really well, so that the triangle partner could just quote the whole thing, or a small part, in her paper.
3. Offer a short list - of 2-5 items that the triangle partner should consider for her next draft - specific spelling and grammar issues can be only one item. Other items could include particular questions to address, problems with the argument, evidence to include, etc.

As usual leave the comments on the triangle partners' blogs, and copy and paste to your own (HW 36). As usual if your partner lets you down, encourage them to step up. If you're still left in the lurch, abandon him/her and find new temporary partners.

I think this will be more fun, and more blue-skinned, than our usual way.
