Assignment for Wednesday, November 6

Finish revising the in-class essay. Keep in mind the following as you go through your in-class essay:
1. Does the first paragraph answer the question or address the prompt?
2. Identify examples from the book. Find the page number to cite the example.
3. Identify the main point in each paragraph. Do you have evidence from the book to support it? If the support is paraphrased, cite the page number. If there is no support, find a quote or paraphrase a relevant section of the book (and cite it).
4. Read each sentence carefully for clarity. If a sentence is not clear, make it clear.
5. Look over the essay's organization. Is it organized logically? If not, make it so. Move around sentences, paragraphs, and sections to improve the essay's logical development.
