Essay #1 Prompt

OOPS, SORRY FOR THE DELAY! Rough draft due Tuesday:

ESSAY ONE

Thinking: During the past few days, I have been asking you to write about your stories and texts that you are familiar with in your everyday life.  Now I want you to use these writing to shape an essay that uses your story and the outside text to express a main idea.   Remember, in an essay each part, each detail, must have some significance for your main idea.  TO write this essay, you must consider what the implication of your story is, and how the text that you are using helps us understand something about your main idea.

Writing: Go back through you previous papers, and decide which parts of your writing you are going to use.  You may cut and paste pieces into your rough draft, but you must add in much of your current thinking about your idea.  This essay should be about an idea that you are communicating through telling us your story and using an outside text.

Administrative notes:
            Essay length 3-5 pages, with all of your other work.
            MLA documentation of sources and works cited is necessary!!
