We had homework! Oh Hell!
AGENDA
In-Class Revision of your essay #4This is the result of combining essays 2 and 3
Based on The Book of Unknown Americans
IF YOU DON’T HAVE TWO COPIES, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES:
1. Go make two copies and return to class. We can try to find you a partner when you come back.
2. Work alone on your essay now. 1. Sit in the back row.
IF YOU HAVE TWO COPIES OF YOUR ESSAY
Get out both copies of your essay. If you don’t have two copies, move to
the back of the room. Find a partner to work with.This must be someone who brought
two copies. Find two seats toward the front of the room.
ON YOUR OWN ESSAY
Identify your hook by putting brackets around it:
Dressed in a blue tuxedo and wearing dark glasses, he walked onto the construction site. No, he is not the supervisor; Rodriguez is just another man slinging a hammer all day long. His tuxedo and glasses, though, mark him as a man who has defeated the idea of “common.”
Underline your thesis statement.
Underline your Point (Topic sentence or main assertion) in each paragraph.
Draw an arrow that points to your Information: “This will be a quotation or summarized event from the text”
“Circle your in-text citation” (Palmore 2). Underline your E (your explanation and analysis).
Does it connect to your Point? Is it at least twice as long as your information piece?
IN YOUR OWN ESSAY: FOR EACH PARAGRAPH!
