The two sample essays we’ll be discussing for Thursday are up under the “readings” tab. (The password is “defoe” all lowercase.) Be sure to print those out and bring them with you. They’re both about 10 pages long (the length your essays will be), so you’ll need to take the time to read them before class; we won’t have time to read them carefully in class.
Think about how each paper uses sources—for background, key terms, to build on or disagree with, etc. (You might look back over the handouts from the last couple of weeks as well.) We’ll also be thinking about how each paper is structured, so pay special attention to the ordering of the paragraphs/moves.
As I announced in class, the draft will now be due on Saturday, April 19th at 8AM. (You may, of course, get it to me before then.)
