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.
