Introduction

Welcome, everyone, to Week 4 of English 131L. This week, our lessons will mainly be focused around ideas of what exactly "good" writing means to you guys, ideas of feedback and feedforward, along with our first session of individual conferences.

When I mention the phrase "good writing," what comes to mind? A research paper? An argumentative paper? A classic novels? This week through discussion, we'll look to answer some of these questions to get a better understanding of all the ins and outs of writing to begin with. Along with this, we'll discuss ideas of feedback and revision, and what exactly "good" feedback means for y'all.

Additionally, we'll be holding our individual conferences this week during Wed/Thurs. The sign up sheet is below.
