sep 8/Sep 11: pre-assessment essay evaluation & self-reflection

Today we will take a look at the Explanatory Writing rubric. We will practice scoring some sample essays and you will evaluate your own pre-assessment explanatory essay (State of the World Global Issue essay). You will receive feedback and your score (formative--doesn't count towards your semester grade).  You will complete a self-reflection and set a writing goal. This reflection will be assessed and it does count for a grade.
