The prewriting assignment helps us understand how to write a strong essay. Instead of writing it right away, we are analyzing a sample student essay to see how a good essay is structured. To prepare, we need to read “The Most Handsome Drowned Man in the World”by Gabriel García Márquez and then review Dean Rader’s overview of the story. This will give us a better understanding of its themes and meaning. The writing guides on thesis statements, using quotations, formatting, and MLA citations will also help us see how to properly structure an essay. After that, we will read the sample student essay. The goal is to pay attention to how the student explains their ideas, uses quotes from the story, and follows MLA formatting. This will help us recognize what makes a strong essay and what can be improved. This step is important because it allows us to learn by example. By looking at someone else’s work, we can see what works well in an essay and what we should avoid when writing our own.
