The first step in writing the Textual Analysis essay is selecting the text you want to write about. Once you have made your choice, go to our shared Textual Analysis Pre-WriteDocument.Scroll down until you find a page that has not been filled in and use it to record your early thoughts about the text that you have selected.
We will be working on our essays in class together on Monday. For class, you will need to have a hard copy of the essay you are writing about. You will also need to have either a pen/pencil and paper or a laptop/tablet. Please annotate your hard copy before you come to class, marking quotations that you think are significant and making notes in the margin with your own questions and observations.
