Essay Revision Materials

This week we are continuing our work on essays. You are all at different places in the revision process. Some of you need to "get back to basics" and begin again (don't fret, we've all been there!). Others need to reorganize what you have and find new or better pieces of evidence. Some have just minor grammatical issues to correct. My goal is that all of you improve your writing with this essay so everyone must turn in a revision.


Here are some materials for reference:

Essay Powerpoint (Citing Sources)

In case you missed class today, HERE are the slides I covered about citing your sources.

Be sure, in your essay, to cite page numbers with every quotations. I would also like a Bibliography or Works Cited page. Use www.easybib.com!

IF we have a "cold-day" tomorrow, plan to email me your complete draft by the end of the day Friday.
