EWRT1A-30: final draft of essay 1 due Tuesday

A few reminders about essay 1…

  • Two drafts are required. This isn't a problem for most of you, but don't forget to bring your first draft as well as your final draft.
  • MLA citation is required. This means both in-text citation and a works cited list. The works cited list does not have to be on a separate page for this essay. The official MLA rules state that it should be on a separate page, but since only one source is required it would be a waste of paper here.
  • Remember that the grading rubric for EWRT1A is in the syllabus. This is what I use to grade the essays, so be sure to check it out if you haven't already.
  • What I mentioned about revision and editing can be found in both our books. For the checklists, look in our reader on pages 21 and 23, and in Rules for Writers on pages 36-37.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me. But please don't just send me a whole new draft to read. Have specific questions.
