--YOU WILL PROBABLY WANT TO JOT DOWN NOTES DURING OUR NEXT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Questions (and quite a few answers) from 2/27/2013:
- When is the essay due? March 18th
- Can we define some checkpoints/due dates for our time between now and the official due date? Not counting today, we have a Tu, Th, M, and W before Monday, March 18th--let's make some decisions!
- Will we have class time to work on the essay? Let's make some decisions!
- What is the word limit? Between 600 words and 1,200 words--this equates to about 2 pages to 3 1/2 pages in 12-point Times New Roman font double-spaced (the essay MUST be double-spaced!)--I assume that the word count does not include the heading and Works Cited page, but we may want to e-mail and double-check
- Can we still change our essay topic? Yes, but...
- Can we get into groups and discuss based on like-topics? Yes...starting later today!
- How do I structure this type of writing response? I can't answer this
- How much vocabulary should we use in our essays? Let's talk about this
- Can we look at a few more samples and clarify expectations? Yes...how about on Tuesday of next week?
- Are there any other resources that would prove beneficial for writing about these topics? Let's talk about this
- Can we discuss the Bible excerpt?:
- Is the link between Anthem and the Bible purposeful or coincidental?
- How much do different translations of the creation and fall of man impact the meaning of the story?
- Can we draw on other stories from the Bible and reference them in our essays in addition to the story studied in class?
