Instructions
Step 1: Compose Project 2 for Instructor and Peer Feedback
Complete a feedback draft of your written proposal for Project 2 and the accompanying advocacy ad or PSA.
Step 2: Evaluate Your Own Project 2 Feedback Draft
After you complete your draft, write a 1-paragraph self-assessment, in which you
assess the strengths of your draft according to the rubric
pose questions to your instructor and peers about the draft
explain what you think you did well and what you might improve on
This assessment will help your readers direct their feedback and engage the concerns you identify. It can also help you set goals for how you will further develop this project. Make sure your self-assessment and list are clearly separated from your draft, ideally on a new page.
Step 3: Submit Draft for Feedback
After you complete a full draft, submit your work for instructor feedback. Then, navigate to the next page to learn about how to participate in peer review. Then, navigate to the next module to learn about how to participate in peer review. Note that you will be submitting your drafts in two places: here for instructor review, and in Module 8 for peer review.
