Stage VI

Our last essay!

To show my thanks to you for being awesome students, I am assigning you an equally awesome essay assignment -- STAGE VI.

Don't forget to review specific directions under the writing assignments tab. BUT, once you've reviewed those, check out these review questions. Again, these are not only the peer review questions you'll be addressing once we return from our break, but they're also the questions I'll be asking whilst grading your papers.

1. Narrative -- How does the essay illustrate who the author was as a writer coming in to 1301? Does the narrative address the struggles/difficulties of the course, or lack their of? How did the author overcome their struggles?
2. Vivid Details -- The key to a successful stage VI is all about specifics. How does the author incorporate specific detail into their essay? Do they quote specific readings? Give examples from class discussion? Refer back to their essays?
3. Discourse -- How does the author situate their development as a writer within the greater discourse of writing studies?
4. Significance -- How does the author articulate the significance of their development and journey? What was the outcome of it all, and why is it important? What does it mean for their future as a writer/student/person in the world?

And if that's not enough direction, wouldn't you like to see an example?

 Example of an A paper, though, of course, this is only one of a million different ways to earn an A on this assignment.
