A. Review your Lincoln timed essay feedback from me. You should have the rubric or the emailed word document I sent.
- Write down an answer to this question: What piece of feedback did I give you that most directly impacted your grade or was most necessary to improve your essay?
- What question(s) do you have about this rubric?
- Which two categories are more heavily weighted and why do you think that is?
- Which category will be your hardest category? Why?
Agenda:
1. Ashley addresses questions about the rubric (DON'T Say "I believe", etc... + Paragraph Topic Sentences)
2. Review the Essay instructions (page 1 and 2 of the handout)
3. 30 minutes: Individual Mid-term review "Merry-go-round": Collect 1-2 things from each poster/station that you think will be most helpful in writing your essay. In which paragraph of your essay would it fit? Share your notes with your group members.
4. Review the directions for how to quote properly (page 3 of the Essay Instructions handout)
- PRACTICE
- Open a new document
- Find a piece of evidence that you want to use in your essay (either from McKinsey or another credible source)
- Introduce the evidence
- Correct format the citation using one of my examples (block-indent or footnote) as a model
- Analyze the quote in one sentence.
- Let me check your example while you work on your outline
You may finish your outline for homework, but wait until class tomorrow to start the essay.
