Evolution of a Revolutionary
Today in class we looked at the first four chapters in Evolution of a Revolutionary. This was a review. We skimmed the chapters looking at the themes, the tone and the intent of each chapter and how Guy used certain devices to move the story along. Students received a handout--three part essay form. We then practiced developing thesis sentences using this as a guideline. Homework was to develop a thesis sentence for each chapter (1-5) using this form for minimally 3 of the 5. Students were to bring them to class, but if you desire you can post them here for comment.
Homework is to bring in your introductory paragraphs and conclusions as a part of an outline for the research essay. This does not have to be typed.
Next week your first draft is due. After Thanksgiving the final draft is due. Because the midterms were so lousy, students who didn't do well will have the opportunity to take a final exam to make up. If your essay received lower than a C, you need to revise it. See me before your start. We want to work smart, not hard.
