Essay Draft 2 (Post Due by Friday's Class)

Hi Class!
Side Note: You will find my replies to your outline posts under "comments" on the outline post.

You should have your essays emailed to me by this evening (Monday) so that I can have them read and type feedback by Wednesday. I have already received Jenae's. Good job, girly! You must post your second REVISED AND EDITED essay drafts here for feedback (Due by Friday morning).  I should see significant revision from your first to second draft, particularly since I will have given you feedback.

You are also required to bring in a copy of the revised essay to class on Friday. We will do some stylistic revisions activities in class Friday; therefore, it would behoove you to make sure your second draft has all the necessary content.

You will take home your drafts over the weekend with feedback to begin writing your final (Due Monday). I will post another blog under which you may post part(s) of your essay throughout the weekend to get feedback as you are writing. This will be good for if you are struggling with something and just want to get a little extra assistance.

Essay Outline

Hello Class!
Good job on keeping up with your research. It is time to begin structuring the essay. You will develop and post your Essay Outline below under "comments." You will notice that you probably need more research to substantiate your claim. In fact, you may need to continue researching throughout your entire essay writing process. Do not be afraid of this!
Comment on at least ONE person's outline, providing feedback (e.g. should the person change the order of their essay so that it is more logically structured; or that person needs to address a major assumption for one of his/her reasons).
