Students were asked first to complete a Reflection on their personal essay:
Students then had some time to begin reading The Stranger. They were reminded that there will be an in-class character analysis essay; and that a dialogue journal or post-it note journal will be expected. Suggested note topics include: Sensory elements; Feelings of isolation; Descriptive language; key passages.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Personal Essay/College
Essay
Reflection
1.
Consider
each of the descriptors in the rubric.
In a paragraph tell me where you think you are developing, meeting, and
exceeding or somewhere in between.
Justify why.
2.
Tell
me what part of the rubric doesn’t seem to fit your piece. For example, a personal essay may have an
implied thesis, one that isn’t necessarily specific and well worded as an
expository essay should have. Dialogue
is another category to consider.
3.
Describe
one place in your essay where you think you revised effectively in
particular. Be sure to tell why you
picked this section (Before—After).
4.
If
given more time, describe one thing you would have done differently or revised
again. Why?
5.
Highlight
on your final draft examples of where you used listing and an effective
punctuation mark other than a period or a comma.
