INTD 100 T/TH DURBIN 2019

AIM: To successfully prove a clear, specific thesis. The thesis should, obviously, address the prompt given in class. Following directions here, as always, is crucial to receiving a passing grade. ORGANIZATION: An in-class essay is organized into five paragraphs. The first paragraph is the introduction, then comes three body paragraphs, then a concluding paragraph. No more—no less! You will want to make a brief outline before you write your essay .* Make sure the body paragraphs appear in a logical order, not simply the order they came to your mind in. Build on the information as you go. Introductory Paragraph:  Make sure not to take too much time writing in introduction. This paragraph should be about five sentences long (give or take a sentence or two). Provide a clearly arguable, well-qualified, thesis. Body Paragraph One:  Don’t forget to provide clear examples to back up your argument, as well as a topic sentence at the beginning of the paragraph...

For your in-class essay, you may have one page of notes, double-sided.  These notes may be quotations from the book Frankenstein, and brief ideas, may not consist of elaborate ideas or analysis or arguments .

Please note that you may not share notes or use another person's notes.You will also not be allowed to use your book during the exam. What should you cull quotes on? I recommend culling quotes on the female companion for the monster. That is the only clue I can give you, but it's a big one! Good luck.

DIRECTIONS: Please answer in complete sentences and take time and care in responding, as you will be graded on your answers. You do not need to write down the questions.  You should address all questions within a given section. Give the notes to the Paper Author when finished. They will hand it in to me next week at the beginning of class on the day your final paper is due, and you will both get credit for the assignment. Important: please do not spend your time during workshop correcting grammar. If you note a problem with grammar, you can spend any extra time at the end of workshop (if you have it) correcting grammar. Otherwise, please just let them know they have an issue, and they can correct it later. 1)  Is the essay's thesis clear? Point out any areas where it could be clearer. Is it arguable? (It should not simply be a statement of facts). Is it well-qualified (specific)? Even if the thesis seems to be specific enough, suggest a way for the writ...
