I am yet not required to complete any actual writing for activity ten in the first week. Instead, I’ll be finishing a number of important assignments in order to prepare for my first essay. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s The Most Handsome Drowned Man will be my first read. I’ll next read Dean Rader’s “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” overview. In order to understand how to properly include quotes into a literary essay and create an effective thesis statement, I will also review the writing guide resources. I’ll also view the MLA Citations guide (activity 8) and the video on why formatting matters (activity 7). Following these steps will help me be ready to assess a student essay example in the same way that a professor would. This finishes my work for activity 10 of the first week.
