hey there, so we have seen a lot of your essay drafts, and they are looking pretty good!
For next monday we will do another draft day....you should pretend the paper is DUE that day, so that you will use this weekend wisely.... (no LATE papers!)---pls bring 2 copies typed....
here is some advice that we went over in class today...and that you will want to integrate into your paper.
1. you MUST integrate direct quotes into the paper. You MUST pull quotes from Into the Wild. (of course if you want to pull in outside quotes, that is cool too. But dont neglect our book.
2. 1A students need to put 2 (two) quotes in each paragraph. 102 students should also do this. For 1A students it needs to happen in pretty much ALL the body paras. For 102 students, it should happen in at least half the paras.
3. So, we want to try to NOT use Chris' name in the topic sentences of your body paras. Even if the question directly asks (for example) "Why did Chris turn his back on family?" You can answer the question by focusing in on the concept that you are doing...after you do 3-4-5 on the concept, THEN bring in Chris for support.....
4. You are looking to do 6-7-8 questions for this essay... that is a LOT ....soooo, if you end up doing only Rule of 2 on some of the questions, that is fine....
