The first draft of essay 1 is due Thursday. Make sure you understand what the prompt is asking of you and use the tips in our reader on pages 13-18 and in Rules for Writers on pages 18-32. Also, I know I came down hard on the five-paragraph essay model, but if you feel comfortable writing using that model, then by all means do so. If it seems to hinder your essay in some way, then I'll make that comment on your draft. Keep in mind that these first drafts are not graded; you will just be getting comments on them.
