The prewriting assignment is a step-by-step guide to help students with the necessary skills and knowledge to write their first essay successfully. This process involves a thorough analysis of two assigned reading materials: “The Handsomest Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and a literary overview of “The Handsomest Drowned Man” by Dean Radar. Several PowerPoint presentations provide detailed instructions to guide them through creating a well-developed thesis statement, including a few examples of thesis statements and structure, how to correctly add quotations in the body of writing, a video of proper writing format, and how to correctly apply MLA citations. These resources are to ensure students, instilling in them the confidence that they have the essential tools to establish a solid foundation for their upcoming essays. Also, a detailed essay outline and a sample student essay are included as part of these resources to offer further guidance and reference.

One thought on “Dominique Robinson Discussion 1”
The several resources that were given to us will indeed help us to write our own essay in time, Dominique. The essay outline and sample student essay are the most important resources to me, because I consider myself a visual learner. Seeing exactly what Professor Conway expects in the step-by-step outline provides an image in my head on what to write and how it should look. The sample student essay was a visual representation on how all of our essays should be written, and it makes the entire process, from the PowerPoints to the readings and the outline, cohesive.
