During your meeting, you received (or will receive) back your in-class Essay 1. As with all writing, this particular piece of writing could certainly use some revision. With that in mind, you will be allowed (even encouraged) to re-write Essay 1 and submit it with the Final Portfolio (due May 12th). The grade for the re-written Essay 1 will completely erase the in-class grade. However, you must follow the below criteria.
- Re-write your essay using the prompt from the Essay 1 exam.
- Do not perform any outside research.
- Use our conversation to guide you in your revisions.
- Give it an interesting title.
- The re-written essay must be 800-900 words, typed and double-spaced.
- Format the essay according to MLA style (e.g., page numbering).
- All rules for formal writing that we have discussed throughout the semester apply to this essay: avoid using you, we or us. You may reference yourself for personal anecdote but be sure that it has a point. (To see more, look at the rhetorical strategies posted on this blog.)
