The goal of the prewriting assignment is to evaluate the student sample essay and determine whether or not it meets the required guidelines for proper and accurate completion. The class will begin by reading the text from The Most Handsome Drowned Man, written by author Gabriel Garcia Marquez and analyzing Dean Rider’s interpretation of the text. Then, we go through several PowerPoint. One focusing on thesis statements and another on integrating quotes into a literary essay. Additionally, we watch videos on formatting and an MLA citation guide to ensure we understand how to correctly structure and cite our essays. After reviewing these materials, we assess the student sample essay to check if they followed the guidelines and fulfilled the assignment’s requirements. Overall, this prewriting assignment is designed to help us students improve our essay-writing skills by refining these key elements, bettering our understanding, and enhancing the chances of overall success.
