Extra Credit Opportunity

You can earn up to 30 points extra credit by doing the following:

• Go to Cookies, Coffee, and Cramming in Axinn Library, 3rd floor, on 12/8 anytime between 6-11p.
• Meet with a Writing Center Tutor to work on your Persuasion Project.*
• Reflect on your experience working with a tutor in a blog post of at least 500 words. Among the many ways you can approach this reflection, you might want to think about:

1. How would you describe your draft before you met with the tutor?
2. What did you do during the session?
3. How did the tutor interact with you? Describe your conversation.
4. What was going on around the session? Were you inspired to write in this environment? Were you distracted?
5. Did you do more writing or more talking during the session?
6. What plan did you make for revision?
7. What did you expect to happen when working with a tutor? How was your experience similar to or different than your expectations?

Your extra credit post is due by Mon, 12/16, along with your final Persuasion Project.

*If you’ve already completed your Persuasion Project before this event (say, because you presented your final in class), you can bring any piece of writing from another class to Cookies, Coffee, and Cramming and write about the session, BUT you’ll also have to connect the session to a rhetorical concept you learned in our class this semester!
