• No reading response this week, but look at TH Part 7 and 8. Choose a section or two to read that represents a part of writing that gives you trouble (concise writing, fragments, etc). Focus on applying the principles from the chapter to your revisions of your white paper.

By Wednesday, July 23, at midnight

• Project 3: Peer Review Due! I will assign each group another group's white paper to review. Each group member should read the white paper carefully and post a comment to the blog which evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the paper, focusing on possibilities for improvement. Consider scope of the paper, organization, accuracy, audience, and design. Each peer review comment should be 150 words in length.
