first draft of Essay 3 due Tuesday

As I said in class, I realize that we have not finished the book, but really rough first drafts are better than none at all. As always though, the more you have in your first draft, the more it will help you with your final draft. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Read chapters 5 and 6 before you start your draft.
  • Focus on analysis, not summary.
  • Show your analysis. In other words, explain how you read the texts.
  • Remember that the goal is synthesis. Show connections between Fun Home and another text form our class.
  • In Fun Home, the images are as much evidence as the words.
If you have any questions, let me know.
