Today in class we reviewed elements of the academic essay that you wanted more practice with, especially thesis, motive, stitching, stance, and orienting. Thanks to those of you (Steve, Sheeza, Ken, Shakyla, Mariama, and Jonathan) who volunteered your work!
We discussed the importance of formulating a thesis that has a structure built into it, so that you (and your reader) can follow that structure in the essay:
Over the break: Please re-read the notes you’ve received from me and your peers on My reviewers over the Thanksgiving break to continue to revise assignment 3!
Extra credit: see this handout about generating engaging titles. Post up to three of your best titles from this exercise as a reply to this post before next class to receive extra credit. Make sure you include a title in the final version of assignment 3 that you’ll turn in on December 5th!
Finally, remember that next week we’ll compose the in-class reflective final essays. You’ll draft the essay on Monday; then, I’ll collect it and give it back Wednesday so that you can complete it and revise it. The best thing you can do prepare for this task is to review all the work we’ve done in the course on our blog, going back through each post and recall what we did each class. The blog is an archive of the work we did together over the last 11 weeks.
HAVE A HAPPY AND PEACEFUL THANKSGIVING!
