To my understanding, the prewriting assignment in Week 1 Activity 10 is all about evaluating a student’s literacy essay.  The process that goes into evaluating this essay starts with reading the article “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Marquez, to get an understanding of the article that is being used for the student’s literacy essay. Shortly after that, read the overview of “The Most Handsome Drowned Man,” which is a somewhat similar outline to the direction given to the student’s literacy essay. After that, review activities 5-8. These activities help teach you what it takes to write a literacy essay and the proper format you have to follow. Then, we are required to read the student’s directions for the essay and their actual essay sample.  The Purpose of the prewriting assignment is to help the students taking this class have a clear understanding of what it takes to write their own literacy essay.
