For the Week 1 Activity 10 prewriting assignment we are to review the Part 1 directions, Student Sample Directions and the Student Sample Essay. From reading the Part 1 directions, it was made clear that there was no writing needed at this time, but the prewriting assignment itself involves a lot of reading and learning to prepare us to write! This assignment helps to get us familiar with reading a primary source and a secondary source, and to further understand thesis statements and using MLA format quotations. Reading the Student Sample Directions and Student Sample Essay are preparing us for our Essay 1 assignment. Essay 1 is an evaluation of the Student Sample Essay, utilizing the Student Sample Directions to guide our assessment. I think that this is a great assignment because it gives us a perspective of the person grading a paper, and points to accuracies and inaccuracies that we can keep in mind when writing our own essays. I am excited to delve into writing Essay 1 so that I can learn from the mistakes in the sample, and understand the viewpoint of an analyzer of an MLA format essay.
