My understanding of the prewriting assignment in week 1 activity is that we have to write a thesis driven essay (which means to write a whole essay structed around a claim you make that is supported throughout the text using evidence and analysis) about the “overview of the most handsomeest drowned man” by dean rader.
We have to discuss one of the ideas expressed in this text by dean rader about the story “the most handsomest drowned man* by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The purpose of prewriting essays is to be able to write something that can be reviewed for feedback so that our writing for the final draft is more successful because the feedback will allow us to see mistakes we hadn’t seen beforehand and will can correct them and hand in a more solid essay that’s much better than whatever we might have given in first. Prewriting gives a opportunity for better organization of ideas and can help us be more efficient in the planning of the essay structure and writing.

I agree with your interpretation. You’ve explained it well. Prewriting helps us organize our ideas and focus on a specific point from Dean Rader’s secondary analysis of “The Most Handsome Drowned Man.” It gives us the chance to structure our essay clearly, gather evidence, and plan our argument. By getting feedback during this stage, we can catch mistakes and improve our essay before the final draft, making the writing process more efficient.
Amy, I’m not sure if I’m understanding you here, but no writing is required for Activity 10. You just have to read the story and article and then review the supplementary PowerPoints etc. Then you should read the Student Sample Directions and Student Sample Essay.
