I like the idea of having students pull out quotes or paraphrases from articles and explain how it will help support their thesis. I think I'll have students submit a thesis statement and outline before the rough draft next time as well. I will definitely post the work for the week the next time I teach this class. The reason I didn't do it this time is that I was frantically working to prepare the next unit while you were working on the previous one. Since I'd never taught this before, I was creating everything from scratch. The next time I teach this, it will be much easier because I will just have to edit my assignments and lectures, then post them. It's good to hear that you like the feedback I give you in the Word document. It can be tedious making the comments, and I'm sure it's a bit tedious making the edits, but I want students to see clearly what particular thing I'm trying to fix or suggest. Tori,
