Not a Blog Entry Take 2!

In this "blog entry" you are writing an email to me! 

In this email, you should:

1. Reflect on the qualities in your writing that you developed and displayed in the magazine project.

2. Specifically explain your understanding of yourself as a developing writer. 

3. Propose a score out of 50 points for this specific article. When doing so, consider:
* Structuring writing (the loop; into, through & beyond)
* Intros
* Conclusions (or outro's)
* Incorporating evidence
* Sentence structure
* How to use nouns and verbs effectively (where in the sentence, what types, -ing's, etc.)
* Making your writing a concert, not a pancakes.
* Avoiding sledgehammer words
* Writing about more than the specific topic at hand (how to get deep)
* Using various types of evidence
* Originality & Creativity
* Sleek prose, clean prose... and colorful prose employed to communicate meaning
* Copyediting
* I think there's more--what did I forget???

This email is DUE by 11:59:59 AM on Sunday 5/31

Good luck!
