In addition to writing a complete draft with an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion for your first draft, be sure to include the following:
The first time you use a source in your draft, introduce it by title and author/s. This shows respect for the scholars who worked hard to research and write the article.
After that, when you introduce a quotation or idea from your source, you may refer just to the author by last name.
Essay Criteria:
Thesis driven essay: Write an explicit claim (thesis). Position it at the end of the introduction. Do not write a “three-part” thesis. (Here are two do not examples: College instructors expect different things than high school instructors, such as _______________, _____________, and _________________. or College writing differs in three ways from high school writing, mainly _______________, _______________, and __________________. These types of thesis statement are useful in some academic contexts, but not preferred by college professors.) This leads us to the following, form.
Form: Use the traditional academic essay components for a summary response essay: an introduction, several body paragraphs that support your thesis, and a conclusion. Do not write a 5-paragraph essay.
Sources: Use direct (exact wording) and indirect (paraphrase) quotations from our readings. There is no exact number; just remember your writing (thoughts) should control the essay, not your quotations. Use a minimum of two different sources which are included as files!
