Read and annotate the following two sample student essays:

https://refractmag.com/2016/04/04/the-objectification-of-women/ (this is a different one than what I mentioned in class, but I feel it is a better model)

It’s also a good idea to spend some time looking back over Zadie Smith’s “Speaking in Tongues” and Brent Edwards’ “Evidence” to decide which one you would like to write about for Essay 1. We will discuss techniques for writing Essay 1 on Wednesday, and your draft will be due on 2/15. I will give full instructions for the draft on Wednesday.
