Today we made a plan for the week: Monday - writing instruction and practice; Wednesday - in class essay (a rhetorical analysis of a passage); and Friday - presentation about child soldiers and sexual slavery in Uganda.
In class we reviewed the handout from Purdue University Writing Center (OWL) about concise writing and eliminating wordiness. Please finish for homework. We also reviewed a handout on general essay construction, including some great lists of what to do and what not to do in an introduction, body, and conclusion. Finally, I suggest that you reread page 8 and 9 of your textbook to review the rhetorical analysis of Jody Heyman's article. This may be helpful / instructive as an example for your own essay. Remember SOAPStone too!
Homework: Finish reading the handouts and text material above. Prepare to write with intensity and intelligence!
