Preparing to turn it in

Today we reviewed how the multi-genre project should be turned in. In particular, you will need to have your final draft (visual, table of contents, introduction/reflection, all 5+ pieces) stapled in one pile. Then all of your process work (journals, aborted drafts, notes, handouts, drafts #1, 2, 3, etc.) will be in a separate pile. Each pile will be put into a folder (that I'll give you tomorrow) and turned in.

Also tomorrow (and Wednesday) we'll be doing oral presentations for our project. Pick two excerpts, totalling less that 3 minutes, to read aloud to the class. Your grade will be based on
1. picking interesting excerpts
2. reading clearly and loudly
3. being organized and prepared -- which you show by being ready to go when called on, and by smoothly introducing yourself and your excerpts
4. participating appropriately as an audience member -- which means being attentive, respectful, and encouraging to other presenters.

For the last little bit of the hour, we watch a bit more of the Malcolm X movie.
