You can think of this process as a document cycle.
Invention is a concept from the discipline of rhetoric.
Invention includes thinking about a document, data gathering for a document, notes about what to include in a document, and drafts of sections of a document. For each document that you complete in E3365, you will work on several formal invention activities. The drafts that emerge from the invention activities will be discussed online weekly. It is important that you do as substantive a job as possible on your drafts so that you can fully participate and receive credit for online discussion. At the end of the document cycle, you will submit a completed draft of your document for peer editing by one of your classmates.
