05.21 - Outlines > Essays

We started today's class by wrapping up some of our discussion points from yesterday.

Following this, we reviewed the basic structure of an essay as a means of discussing how individuals' outlines will be converted to a feature-length essay (see "Bare Bones of an Essay" handout in the outline resources below).

Everyone then had the rest of the period to complete their outline and begin working on their essay. Outlines should be complete for our return to class on Tuesday.

Homework:
  • Use the evidence you selected in your notecards to complete your outline. Use the outline format explained on 05.14.
    • If pasting in notecard evidence beneath the sub-claims reveals that you do not have evidence for some sub-claims, return to research and find sources that give you information on those sub-claims.
