Here you can find the Peer-Edit and Correction and Commentary Key handed out on 9/30. I'm hoping that having this electronic copy will increase your use of the document as you review and revise your first draft of Essay #1.

I have also included a new link. Now you can easily access your York College Student Email account by looking under the On-Campus Links on the left-side toolbar. Hooray!
Please note that a few symbol additions have been made. A few, paraphrased, appear below
- 86 = remove; essentially the same as a strikethrough
- coll = marks colloquial, everyday speech which should be changed to a more formal diction
- frag = indicates an incomplete sentence, thus a fragment

Hw #6 for 10/7
Please forgive my tardiness in posting this homework!!! I had thought that I had done so with the many others last Monday and Tuesday. Thank you for your understanding. Here is the prompt for e-journal #6:
Describe, with sensory detail where possible, a fashion trend that you have noticed and participated in during the past three or four years. Where did it begin (if you know), or where did you first begin to notice it? Who were the people to first wear this style? Does this particular fashion help identify a particular group? If so, who or what? Do you identify with them or it? Is there a music genre attached to this group; a set of beliefs; ideals; behaviors or rituals? Devote two paragraphs to this e-journal response, properly citing at least one quotation from Gladwell’s text to support your conclusions.
