(4-6 pages) Things to Shoot For: ● Begin your essay by stating the name novel and the author who wrote it. You do not need to write a “hook” when you begin your discussion. You don’t need to convince your reader(s) that these works of literature are excellent reads; instead, interpret them, make claims about them, support your claims with textual evidence. ● Make sure that you use parenthetical citations for textual evidence quoted or paraphrased. ● Show that you have carefully read the text you are writing about and that you have fully digested and considered your opinions, examples, and evidence. ● Show that you are really thinking about the option you chose to write about—the novel grapples with complex ideas, so don’t settle for easy responses. Write about the complexities. Think about what made it difficult, consider its complexities, not just what you thought made for good reading. ● Write for an audience who is NOT in our class. This means that you’ll need to spend some time summarizing key ideas, defining any terms that might be unfamiliar, and choosing short quotes from the novel to help your reader get a sense of what the author was talking about. ● Take the time to proofread after you’ve written your essay. Think about the kinds of mistakes you know you tend to make, and watch out for those. ● The take home part is an opportunity to clarify/expand on/subtract from the points that you made in class; this includes adding writing if need be (remember that your final draft needs to be at least 750 words), and proofreading for collegelevel spelling, grammar, and punctuation. However, I don't see it as a time to rewrite your whole essay.
