- Collaborate in class on revising the Powell Diary transcription in a Google Doc. Each student imports their excerpt into the master document, and then we work together to smooth the transcription – where important maintaining original variant spellings (and creating a list of those spellings to see if we can begin to keep track of them) while ensuring that individual attempts to transcribe the same word are brought in line. By end of class we should have a coherent revised transcription from which we will work.
