Humanities Essay: Check-In

Hi Friends!

At this point, a first draft of your essay should be well underway.

You have been given a substantial amount of time, in class, to work on your intro, thesis, three examples/finding evidence, and body paragraphs. 

You've also been offered conferencing/assistance, from me, on multiple occasions, so if you are trailing behind, then you will need to work on your writing over the weekend.

Remember, your overarching questions are:

1. How does the author portray the values and beliefs within a society?

AND

2. What similarities and differences might there be between the worldview you have and what is depicted? 

If the answers to those questions are not explicitly apparent in your work, then you are not fulfilling a major part of the requirements.

On Monday 03/09, Mrs. Pedersen will review conclusions with you, and then you'll have a chance (on the laptops) to finalize things. This will be your last in-class session before our deadline.

As mentioned, I was definitely not planning on being away from my classes this coming week, so I will allow for essays to be handed in via hard copy latest, Friday (03/13) morning.

If it is late, I will need communication from your parents outlining why you were unable to meet the expectations.
