NEXT CLASS: THURSDAY, MARCH 12
Mandatory 2nd drafting session on the 1st essay.
and (if needed) a new printed copy of your outline.
IMPORTANT: An outline is a structured set of keywords or very short phrases (3-4 words) that provides a framework for your essay, like a skeleton structure. Only the thesis can be a fully developed sentence.
Workflow to choose your thesis and to outline your 2nd paragraph:
1. First, choose one extended scene or character the author uses to comment on the conservative immigration policy, such as the cemetery scene, Clark's integration into the Daily Planet, Superman's second trip to Borada, or the character of Eddie Monroe.
2. Second, identify which one guideline or one goal of the policy the author is commenting on in this scene or through this character. This will be the topic of your paragraph.
3. Third, identify two key details or panels in this scene or related to this character. These two panels/details need, together, to support your thesis. In your second paragraph, you will describe and analyze these two panels/details one at a time. Determine the best order to discuss them; for example, you can discuss them in chronological order, or you can move from a detail that supports the conservative element to another detail that challenges it.
4. Fourth, identify the specific "quotes" that will support your analysis.
4) PREPARATION: TO IMPROVE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE 2ND PARAGRAPH, EXAMINE CLOSELY THIS FICTIONAL EXAMPLE.
You may print a copy and bring it to class as a guide when you will draft your 2nd paragraph.
Take care.
