How to prepare and share your "weekly" updates

Writing updates will help the rotating set of writing mentors keep track of where you are in the process and see what your current needs are. 

You can write your updates using this Google Doc form.

• Make a copy of your own to edit and update with your progress each week
• Change the settings so that others with the link can comment on the doc.
• Paste the shared link in the group forum.

Share your updates with others, and get feedback, using the Group Forum.

• Ask a group manager to create a "Conversation" for you and your paper.
• You can then create multiple Discussions for this conversation- where you can ask for feedback and share progress.
  • Make one Discussion for your weekly Updates, and put the share link to your Updates Google Doc there. You can update the google doc without making new posts. Add highlights of what you have accomplished this week and what you are hoping to get from others in the group.
    • you can paste in the link, or write text and attach the link to the text.  This may be easier to read.
    • For example, This is the template update form.
• If there is something you want feedback on, make a new post and clearly ask for what you are looking for.  Your posts will be emailed to everyone in the group.
  • Others in the group can respond to your post from the email they get, so you can asynchronously collect feedback on your writing using the forum.

This group default is set up to email the group members when a new post is made. 

You can individually toggle your own email settings on and off at the top level of the forum.
