Here is the URL for the Draft 1.1 checklist:

The Draft 1.1 checklist is simply a list of questions you should ask yourself before you turn in Draft 1.1– it is meant to help you figure out if you have everything you need in your essay before you turn it in. Here’s a tip: Have a parent or trusted friend go over your essay with this checklist before you turn it in. Sometimes after you’ve been looking at a piece of your own writing for too long, it becomes difficult to see mistakes.
Also, here is the URL for the PowerPoint Presentation I showed in class yesterday:
https://beavers1301.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hbpresentation7-1301.pptx
It contains helpful information on the grading rubric for Draft 1.1. And don’t hesitate to scroll down to the entry I posted last week! The PowerPoint I posted there contains information about where to locate sample Draft 1.1s, how to construct appropriate introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions, etc.
Finally, you have one reading assignment for next Thursday: St. Martin’s Handbook Part 1, Section 4b, “Reviewing Your Peers” (pp. 75-86).
However, please keep in mind that I reserve the right to quiz you on the reading assignments you’ve completed over the last two weeks:
1. St. Martin’s Handbook Part 1, Section 3f-g, “Planning,” “Drafting,” (pp. 61 – 71)
AND
2. St. Martin’s Handbook Part 1, Section 2, “Rhetorical Situations” (pp. 23-43)
You may be quizzed on these readings next Thursday.
Have great fall break, everyone! And good luck with your Draft 1.1s!
