Working+Pages

Use the Working Pages to write your paragraph. It will then be available for group members to edit. Group members should comment on each of the other group member's paragraphs. The type of feedback should include comments on the structure, grammar and content of the other paragraphs.    ** ESOL 101 Academic Writing - Wiki Project -- 10% ** Aim: Using wiki pages and working collaboratively plan and compose four body paragraphs of an essay incorporating relevant sources. You do not need to write the introduction or the conclusion – just the four body paragraphs. As you will be working in groups of four, each group member will be responsible for the main writing of just one paragraph. You will be divided into groups of four, preferably based on subject areas, if this is possible.

By end of week 9: By end of week 10: By end of week 12 ||  Complete topic selection and what each person will cover in his/her paragraph. Each group member will have written their own paragraph and submitted to the ’Working Pages’. Each group member will have commented on the other three paragraphs in their group. Each group member will have revised their paragraph. Submit final draft of four paragraphs for evaluation and submit to Turnitin. ||
