Our first essay will be our first chance to dig into the world of conspiracy theories, rhetorical strategies, truth, logic, and much more! The essay is meant to be diagnostic. Please remember that the grading contract is at work here. You will earn an automatic B if you do all of the requirements. If somehow, the essay doesn’t quite make the grade, I will also allow you to revise if you meet the new deadline after you get your grade the first time on this essay. <\/p>\n
YOUR ASSIGNMENT:<\/p>\n
EXTRA CREDIT SURPRISE: PEER REVIEW YOUR ESSAYS ON THE DAY ONE GREETINGS DISCUSSION BOARD.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n To help you focus on the AIDS conspiracy theory and your essay, I decided NOT to make you do a formal peer review on this DAY ONE week’s discussion board. If you DO decide to do one, however, I will grant you extra credit! Here are the rules: These posts DO NOT replace the regular discussion posts. These post do NOT remove an assignment. Instead, they simply help increase a grade. You must do all parts to receive points!<\/strong><\/p>\n STEP ONE: PREWRITING AND ROUGH DRAFT: Post your working outline, thesis, and very rough draft (at least the first page and a half) on the discussion board this week no later than Wednesday. <\/span><\/strong>Include any clustering or planning for the essay in addition to the working outline, thesis itself, and at least the first page of your essay. Please note that your prewriting and outline don\u2019t need to be “formal” but should show us your direction in full. This exercise must be typed and double-spaced, in Times New Roman, 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Submit it as an attachment. <\/p>\n STEP TWO: PEER REVIEW: <\/span><\/strong>By no later than Friday, peer review at least two other classmates. Provide your classmates with answers to big questions by answering the questions below. Help them to see where to make the essay better.<\/p>\n Using a checklist to complete your review will allow you to rate each of the parts in the paper according to their strength. There are many different peer review checklists, but the one below should be helpful for your assignment.<\/p>\n Our first essay will be our first chance to dig into the world of conspiracy theories, rhetorical strategies, truth, logic, and much more!
