Paper Prewrite 2

Purpose
To give you the opportunity to do a structured freewrite and get feedback on your preliminary thinking for the short analysis paper.

Read through the instructions for the short analysis papers. Also read through the feedback I gave you on your last prewrite exercise and your first paper.

In 250 words, start writing the paper you will submit. The parameters for this exercise include...

• write 250 words
• make an argument; this argument can be your overall thesis or it can be a supporting claim that you are proving
• make this selection cohesive; it should be clear to your audience how the submitted selection holds together. You may respond to this parameter by...
  
  • developing an outline for the overall paper
  • writing an excerpt of your paper (such as, the first page, a paragraph you suspect will be problematic)
  • describing how you are going to write the paper, like a proposal
    
  In any case you should briefly describe at the beginning of the submission which of these three instructor will be reading.

Submit your work prior to class (7 pm) in the body of an email addressed to the instructor.
