Final Project - Sign-Off Sheet
Initial the boxes in the first column as tasks are completed.  Staple work under this sheet as it is done.  All work should have your name, email, and title of assigned task in the top left corner.

  Outline or 10 minute freewrite of ideas for piece.
  Rough draft (sketch, if art)
  First revision: extensive cuts, adds, and rephrasing on the draft and in the margins.  Additional notes may be done on a separate sheet and attached to the draft.  Staple this to the bottom of this form.
  Clean copy of 1st revision.
  Second revision: extensive cuts, adds, and rephrasing on the draft and in the margins.  Additional notes may be done on a separate sheet and attached to the draft. Staple this to the bottom of this form.
  Group Conference: Meet with at least three people as a group.  For each member, provide copies of your piece and a responder sheet.  A conference may be held anytime after the rough draft is completed.  I suggest waiting until a first revision is done to "clean" the piece.
  1. As the piece is read, responders take notes on their copy.
  2. The responders are to discuss the piece after it is read aloud using phrases as: "I noticed..., I wonder..., and What if...". 
  3. Meanwhile the author takes notes on what they say. 
  4. After the discussion, responders list 3 comments they either provided or heard that would best help the author.
  5. Collect all sheets and staple to the bottom of this form.
  Publication piece:  Staple the final draft on top of this form.
  Submit a copy of publication draft to the discussion web under the link: Novel Creative Piece: 1 | 2 | 5 | 6
