Because this is the first paper, you might feel some anxiety about writing your rough draft. In the comment section, please write any questions, comments, or concerns you have about your rough draft. (You can post anonymously if you'd like.)
This is a problem for a lot of people. Part of this is because of the general structure of the essay (tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em, then tell 'em, then tell 'em what you told 'em). Tomorrow in class, we're going to start talking about integrating quotations into your essays. When you format your thoughts around a specific chunk of words from your reading, that might help to keep you from repeating yourself.
If you look in the Dropbox folder, there is a file called "class_schedule_theme_1" that shows exactly what your "Works Cited" page should look like. I also wrote it on the board at the beginning of class the other day. Take a look, and if you have any questions, please email me.
