Collaborative Essay Assignment. Due at the beginning of class.
- Meet with your partner in class and, if needed, in Google Chat, Google Meet, or Zoom. One of you, a facilitator, must set up the meetings and convey the information to your peers for the Google or Word document you can all collaborate on. You will also have time to work on this assignment in class.
- Create a progress timeline, decide how you will work together in writing this essay, and who will create a Google Document and pass on the information to the partner. Get your collaborators' emails and phone numbers. The essay should have input from all of you.
- Create a Google Document (or Word document) that you can work on together. Make sure all involved have access to the Google Document. The document you submit to me should be a Word Document (You will submit a printed-out copy in class on the due date. Late papers will not be accepted. Each of you should also have an electronic version of this essay on your laptop computer.)
- You all will submit a document with the names of the peers with whom you wrote the essay in the heading and header. In the heading, list all names of the collaborators (names will span across the page, separated by commas, not separate lines). Example of heading line--Samantha Smith, Jimmy Jones. An example of the header on each page (upper right corner--last names with page number): Smith/Jones 1. *You can work on this essay alone if you like, but you have the option of working with two other peers (no more than three students working on one essay).
- When we discuss this assignment in class, you need to choose whom you want to work with or if you want to work alone. By the end of the class, a facilitator for each group will write down the names of peers working on the paper together and which texts you are choosing to write about. If you are doing the assignment alone, simply write your name and state you will be doing the essay alone.
