Tues. April 14, 2015: Arriving at a thesis

Today, we discussed the essay assignment you were given yesterday (the one that is due on Friday). I discussed how to approach the development of a thesis through charting, handed out an additional support for inserting quotations, and explained the exemplars that are now posted on the board (both at the front of the room and the back). I also stressed that you will have to write a timed essay at the end of the year (finals) and that the expectation is for you to write one in an hour.
