1. Come into class, sit with your group (see below**), and open up the Course Blog on your iPads. In the first five minutes, I will take attendance and explain the directions for the conferencing workshop to be completed in class.
2. Each group will spend ten minutes in each station. Look at 1-2 paragraphs from each group member and give feedback on that paragraph. Take notes and/or make corrections as you get feedback. If you finish before ten minutes is up, note any grammar errors or confusing sentences you saw in each other's paragraphs.
3. Station 1 looks at the Introduction. Give suggestions on 1) making the "hook" catchier and 2) making the thesis stronger, more argumentative, and more specific.
4. Station 2 looks at one or two paragraphs that tell the story. Give suggestions on 1) adding more details and 2) using more descriptive language to make the details more vivid.
5. Station 3 looks at one or two paragraphs that contain the analysis. Give suggestions on 1) adding more analysis and 2) pushing the analysis to go more in-depth.
6. Station 4 looks at the Conclusion. Check that the Conclusion sums up AND leaves something to think about. Give suggestions on how the writer can apply the lessons learned in the significant moment to future life plans.
7. In the last five minutes of class, we will recap today's workshop and review what to work on for tomorrow's workshop.
**Each group will rotate around to each station in a circle. If you start at Station 1, you will then go to 2, then 3, and end at 4. However, if you start at Station 4, you will then go to 1, then 2, and end at 3.
The starting stations groups are:
Station 1: Amanda, Jennifer, Philipp
Station 2: Leo, Sophia
Station 3: Sera, Zen, Nancy
Station 4: Cherrie, Gordon, Nina
