5. The Assignment
Over the course of the next three weeks, we will be researching, drafting, and editing an essay of the topic you picked as a class.
You will do your research in groups (of no more than 5- must be at least 2)
We will have some time in class to evaluate our research, but you will need to find it at home
You will then write the essay on your own
We will draft in class to help you focus your ideas, improving your clarity and fluency
We will then edit in class, as we did with the Personal Statements
It is vital that you bring a draft to class with you everyday, especially during the peer editing sessions
You will be graded on every step of the process so do NOT throw anything away
