With a Little Help from Our Friends
Overview: Before an essay exists, perhaps we could give each other a hand. This will be a live blog during today's class. I will join as well. 😉
Directions: 1) Post your concept. This may be your freewriting ideas, your working thesis statements, whatever would give your classmates enough info to follow your working argument. Add your first 2-3 quotations to help us see the moves you want to make in the opening body paragraphs. Finally, explain where you want to end. What's your point? If you do not have an answer to any of the above, let us know so we can help you. 3) Read each other's responses and give helpful feedback. Let's see if we can divide an conquer. Everyone pair up and help. When you finish, choose another to add feedback.
Homework: Post your first body paragraph. We will work on grammar and style.
