In preparation for our anonymous feedback session on Thursday, please follow these steps:
- Select a passage you'd like to get feedback on - roughly a full paragraph or half a page of dialogue. Just a few sentences will not be enough.
- Copy and paste it into a new google doc - do not put your name anywhere in the document.
- Upload it to turnitin.com - "Short Story - excerpt for feedback" by the end of the period today.
- We will use these anonymously on Thursday - you will both give and receive feedback on your work. That will take about half the period, and the other half will be yours to continue writing.
