essay3outline.docxTHE TOPIC FOR ESSAY THREE HAS BEEN POSTED.
I also posted the example format for an outline last week.
Read the Chapter in the Bridge on Comparison Contrast first. Notice that we are doing POINT BY POINT comparison or contrast. If you have any questions on how to do this, listen to the lecture an then post questions.
Then read the assignment. It is basically a comparison or contrast of two works of fiction (one is your choice, the other is POMC).
Post your outlines for your comparison or contrast essays here.
Use full sentences and make sure there are three research supports for each body paragraph.
Make sure that the outline looks like a point-by-point comparison or contrast.
DO NOT compare AND contrast.
I want you to have a running start at this paper, so post early and we'll get some discussion threads going.
You must comment on the outlines of two other students. In your comments, you should provide them with two pieces of research that you found on their authors. Give them a complete citation so they can use it in their papers if they so choose.
Read as many outlines as possible.
Learn to correct some of your mistakes by engaging in the process through a peer.
THIS IS YOUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT THE OUTLINE POST IS DUE April 15th by 9PM
