Upcoming:
Freewrite to consider your topic for Essay I; see SMH 3a, “Exploring a topic,” and SMH 13a-h to review and reflect upon purpose, whether your statement can be argued, formulating your thesis, and developing support. Bring in chaos/ ideas/ clusters. Remember, writings for this class are essays, not report. You should not be regurgitating, but creating original works of scholarship. You will use supporting texts to further your analysis (make sure you know what an analysis is). The supporting texts do not create your essay.
Need insight as to what might be important? See the Critical Thinking Rubric at the CT Project.
