Hey guys. I'm going to start reading your outlines tonight so I can give you advice as you work on your drafts. You not having your outlines checked before you start writing your drafts is a little problematic, so I'm going to send you emails specific to your argument as you work on this week's hw. And the hw is:
1. Write a complete rough draft of Essay #1 for Next Weds
That's a draft that includes the three major parts of an essay:
Intro
- Hook
- Background
- Link to your subject
- THESIS statement
Body Paragraphs
- Topic Sentence
- Example
- Explanation
- Explanation
- (conclusion/transition)
Conclusion
- Restate bulk of the argument
- Tell the reader what to do next, or why they should care, or just finishes the essay with a thoughtful idea that puts the finishing (usually dramatic) touches on your essay.
And every quote is set up in a sandwich:
- Attribution (Bread)
- Quote (Pastrami)
- Explanation (Pickles)
- Explanation (Bread)
These DO need to be typed since Wednesday's class depends on that, so make sure you set aside enough time to get them printed up.

Vonnegut article - "How to write with style"
Hey,
Here's the link to that Vonnegut article we covered in class today. Vonnegut is the type of writer who is so talented, his advice and style are not easily dated by changing times. So even though the article is clearly old, his advice still holds true because it's about respecting the writer as an individual with a voice, and that never changes:

"The Effects of New Media" article
Hey Class,
Here's the link to the article about the influence of social media, it does a cool job of weighing the pros and cons.
https://mygpjournal.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/the-pros-and-cons-of-new-media/
I only want you to focus on the written article, so you can watch the videos if you want, but they aren't involved with this assignment. Brain food, though. Maybe not all of it.
