EWRT211-62: essay 2 prep

I just sent out an e-mail about the in-class essay on Monday, essay 2. Again, if you didn't receive the e-mail either my message went into your junk mail or I don't have your correct address.

This is what the e-mail said:

For essay 2, I will give you three prompts and you will be asked to write on one. All the prompts will ask you to compare or contrast two essays we've read. Think about the discussions we've had in class and the reading responses we've done. How do Andrew Lam's ideas relate to Philip Persky's? Compare Joyce Jarrett's ideas about freedom with those of Cobie Kwasi Harris, and think about how the two authors arrive at their ideas. Consider how Rodriguez's ideas contribute to or contradict Lam's and Persky's.

For the essay, you will need to bring paper and something to write with. Pens are preferred. You don't need any special examination booklet. You may use your book, but no notes. A dictionary is acceptable. We will do some prewriting in the beginning, but after that you will have the entire class to write your essay.
