Week 6
October 15th, 2009 at 8:25The small groups for this week are
Group 1: Dineh, Bob, Nicola
Group 2: Cynthia, Lee
After you have read and critiqued your small group’s Week 5/6 manuscripts on your blogs, please arrange a synchronous chat or Skype conference call as usual. In your discussions, be sure to focus on author’s intent. Remember that this is the second draft of the writer’s first week’s MS, so you might go back and browse their Week 1 MS for reference to see what was changed.
Lastly, please watch the video, “General Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Writers,” on the Week 6 page and respond to it in your blog posts. You may also discuss the video in your small groups. Ignore all other information on the Week 6 page, except for the Additional Resources section which you may find helpful when looking for other creative nonfiction works or magazines that publish creative nonfiction.
That’s all for this week! Thanks so much for producing such interesting writing these past six weeks, and for all your patience regarding tech mishaps. I will probably be forwarding an end of the course survey from the P2PU folks later in the week, which I hope you will take.
For those who complete the course, I will solicit mailing addresses to send your P2PU t-shirts. 
Happy last week of critiquing!
