REFLECTIVE MEMO & UPLOAD DIRECTIONS

REFLECTIVE MEMOAs the syllabus says, and as I have repeated a few times, each submission in this class should include a writer’s memo. This should be an informal letter, written by you, to me, about the project.

Some projects will have their own special questions, but generally speaking, you’ll need to address five things.

They are on the next slide.

MEMOThings to put in your memo:

1) Anything you want me to know before I grade—think of it as your chance to put an idea in my head.

2) Describe the process you went through writing the essay– did you work a bit each night, all at once,

where did you write, for how long, in what conditions, etc. In other words, think about the

actions/practices you undertook.3) You should explain why you made the major

choices you made.4) You should share what you think is

strongest and weakest in the draft as it is.5) And, for fun, tell me what grade you’d

give yourself.

AND NOW… NiihkaPlease now make sure you have your essay and your memo saved.

For my sanity, please name your essay your last name and the number 2 (e.g. mine would be alexander2.doc). Name your memo your last name and memo2 (alexandermemo2.doc).MAKE SURE IT IS A .doc, .docx or .rtf BEFORE YOU UPLOAD. Have those files in a location you know how to access– I recommend the desktop.

When you get logged in to Niihka, pick the tab for our class.

Then, from the menu down the left side of the screen,

pick “drop box”

It’s about halfway down

Once on the next screen, you want to click where it says “add” and scroll to

“Upload files.”

You then use the “browse” button to locate and attach files. Make sure you also use the “add another file” choice so you can upload your

memo as well.

When both of your files are set to upload, click the “upload files now” button. And…

you should have success.
