Drafting the Culminating Essay: April 17, 2018

Focus: What do we understand better/differently when we synthesize texts?

1. Warming up with a helpful (I hope) article on Waiting for Godot

2. Offering you a mini lesson on structuring this thing
  • Define before you defend.
  • Use questions to form your outlines.
  • Make sure you have at least two "texts" for each part of your outline (organize by PATTERN, not by work).

3. Giving you time to peruse the samples, ask questions, work on your draft, and offer peer feedback

4. Wrapping up with a three-minute masterpiece video


HW:
1. Continue drafting your culminating essay. You have a little over one week left, and there will not be time to revise. Make your final draft a true final draft, and one that you're proud of.

Final draft due Thursday, April 26 by 3:00 pm.

2. THIS WEDNESDAY will be your final "Tuesday" writing. Thursday will be our final Thursday workshop. Friday will be a fast & furious recap of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
