Essay 1 revision

For Monday, bring your 1st version of the essay along with the new version that incorporates your revisions based on my feedback and peer feedback. AM CLASS: don't forget the extra paragraphs I forgot to collect on WED.

Remember, for this version I'm asking it to be CUT.
It should be no longer than 2.5 pages, single-spaced.

THE BEST PAPERS WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU HAVE USED THE TECHNIQUES FROM THE 2 READINGS I GAVE OUT ABOUT WRITING ANALYTICALLY, and the BLOG LINK ABOUT INTEGRATING QUOTES.

Some things everyone should work on:

-the strongest introductions use a specific example or detail from observations of the website or your field visits to Armory Square
-NOTICE AND FOCUS - use more detail, AVOID GENERALIZATIONS
-10 on 1 - quality is better than quantity
-What is your THESIS? Can you even find it?
-MAKE AN OUTLINE for your paper before rushing in!
-Does each paragraph support the thesis?
-Is the transition from your writing to quotes from Barthes easy for the reader to follow?
