Write Solo #2 -- A Timed Writing Practice

Put the normal heading on a paper, and write up a summary/ response essay about the article you read.

Key Elements from the yellow sheet:

1. Make up your own title.
2. Have a hook.
3. Later in your introduction, mention the title AND author of the article.
4. At the end of your intro, state your own point about the reading. (Thesis statement.)
5. Spend one paragraph summarizing the article objectively. Use author tags. (According to Staples...)
6. Spend a couple paragraphs explaining your opinion or reaction to the article. Use short quotes to support your reaction.
7. Finish your essay with a concluding paragraph. Revisit your hook? Point us in a new direction?

At the end of class, you will submit what you have written into a forum.

Homework:

1. You may take this essay home and rewrite, if you wish. Tomorrow you turn in a hard copy to be graded with the yellow rubric.

2. TWFTD: your choice from your article, using the OED.
