Your mission, week seven

Assignment: either a longer post (500 words) or three thematically linked entries (no more than 600 words total). Mawkish praise for the following:

  • Three sources – the ole newspaper minimum
  • Quotes, which can be drawn from documents or, preferably, interviews.
  • Pro and con perspectives, which add balance
  • Links and expert opinions.
  • Dialogue, plot, imagery, nut grafs and envelope endings

This week, especially, I encourage you to offer your peers feedback. Different eyes spot different strengths and concerns ... and the critiquer has much to learn from the process. WIN for all!

Please post your links on the class forum, as usual.

Feedback: (Amanda) writing line-critique
