My understanding of the prewriting assignment in week 1, activity 10 is for it to set an example. I think it’s an example of what your professor is expecting from you or maybe something similar and in the same format. The more we see examples, it helps us get to know what we are expected of and the way to organize our new essay or draft. It helps us better generate our ideas. The more we read an article the more we understand and create a better main idea/ thesis. Pre-writing is a crucial stage in the writing process that helps to organize and develop your ideas before you start drafting.

From my understanding, this prewriting assignment is designed to help us generate and organize ideas for the essay. It’s a multi-layered process meant to guide us in brainstorming, outlining, and narrowing down our focus. By working through activities from Week 1, we’ll learn how to effectively structure a literary essay, incorporate quotes, and use MLA style. For this specific essay, we’ll be using “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Dean Rader’s Overview to come up with our own thesis. Prewriting helps break down the story and guides us in understanding its deeper meaning, which will be essential as we develop our essay. This preparation lays the groundwork to ensure that when we start writing, we already have a clear plan and focus, making the writing process smoother and more effective.

The prewriting assignment focuses on this week’s topic, which is identifying literary devices such as a thesis statement and being able to distinguish between primary and secondary sources. The prewriting assignment helps us to understand the topics we are going to write about and also familiarizes us with the literary devices we are expected to use. It is understood that we have to read, “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which is a primary source. Then, we have to read “Overview of “The Most Handsome Drowned Man”” by Dean Rider which is a secondary source that analyzes the story by Marquez. Eventually, we will have to evaluate a student sample essay to identify if the essay has a strong thesis statement, and if the student was able to effectively use both the primary source and secondary source, to discuss and analyze an idea expressed in the secondary source. This will then strengthen our own ability to be able to utilize strong thesis statements and analyze a secondary source using a primary source.
