Week 1 Discussion
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.
The assignment of activity ten for week one requires no actual writing at this time. I will be preparing myself for the actual upcoming writing assignment of essay 1 only after having completed the multi-layered steps in activity ten which I will describe. First I will read “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Marquez. Second I will read “Overview of ‘The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Dean Rader. Aslo in addition I will read the supporting writing guide material. I will learn how to write a strong thesis statement. Where and how to insert qoutations into a literary essay. I will watch the video on why formatting matters in activity 7 and the MLA Citations guide in activity 8. These steps will prepare me to act as the Professor and evaluate a student sample literary essay. This will prepare me for a successful part 2 when it is time to actually write. This will complete week 1 activity 10 at this time.
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.
My understanding about prewriting is to be able to brainstorm ideas for what you want to talk about, it allows you to outline and organize your thoughts and leaves less room for confusion. In order to have a successful prewriting assignment you have to be able to understand the question that is being asked and have a good layout that includes portions of what can better clarify your thesis. You have to create a sort of diagram that gives you a visual mapping of your ideas and shows the relationship between them. You also have to make sure you have proper evidence, an explanation and reasons. Gathering information and evidence takes time and research. The purpose of the prewriting assignment is to create a smoother and more efficient piece. You explore your ideas, main points and generate a clear structure. Prewriting saves time and extra effort you have to make and makes your final piece well structured.
The prewriting assignment in Week 1 activity is to help us prepare to write essay 1. We will first need to read “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” and an overview of the story.

The purpose of the prewriting assignment is to familiarize us with the material and set the foundation for our own writing, without requiring any submissions at this stage. -Shirley Miranda
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.
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.
The purpose of the prewriting assignment is to “Act as the professor.” At this time we weren’t asked to actually write but understand the guidelines provided, in order to evaluate the student sample essay provided and ensure it meets the guidelines. We began the prewriting portion by reading “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Dean Rader’s overview. We then reviewed the PowerPoints on thesis statements and the proper way to include quotes in essays.

This week, we will include understanding the MLA format, effective thesis statements, and quoting in our writing properly. We will receive guidelines for a sample student essay on what the essay should be able to do for us. These guidelines touch on important things such as grammar, specific details, and structure. The compiled student essay is to demonstrate if the guidelines were followed. Prewriting is a great way to give me some idea of what my future essays have to feature in order to get full credit. The readings also give me insights in order to tackle the essay prompt and collect pertinent information for my writing.
My understanding of the Week 1 prewriting assignment for Activity 10 is that we will be reading an essay and grading it for grammatical errors. We will review the essay to check for proper grammar, ensure it makes sense, verify the correct use of quotations, and so on. The purpose of this assignment is to help us understand the grading process from the professor’s perspective. It offers a valuable opportunity to learn how to identify errors and improve our own essay writing skills. By critiquing the student’s essay, we’ll also refine our own writing. In doing so, we’ll become more aware of grammar usage, proper citation of quotations, and the clarity of our own work. I think this is a useful prewriting assignment, as it will allow us to see the process from the professor’s viewpoint, which will ultimately benefit us as writers. I look forward to working on the assignment and grading another students work.
My understanding of the prewriting of week one activity ten is I will be annotating and analyzing the student essay format. I will evaluate a student’s essay to see any incorrect words grammar or punctuation. On a separate sheet, I will be writing notes of any missing errors or the student’s mistakes. Writing the notes will reflect to the student on what mistakes the student made. After annotating the student essay will see the mistakes they have to focus on, so the next time the student reread their essay what are the mistakes they had made. The purpose of the prewriting assignment is reading the student essay format will give us an idea of how an essay should be well-written essay should be written. Small mistakes such as grammar or indenting are added in an essay, but improvising them will give us an understanding of how to write a professional essay.
We must read and understand the assigned readings during our first rewriting assignment. These readings include ” The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and ” Overview of ‘The Most Handsome Drowned Man'” by Dean Rader. After we review these literary works we review several PowerPoint presentations that help us review parts that make up a successful essay. This week we will review the necessary MLA format, thesis statements, and correct usage of quote insertions. We are also given the directions for the sample student essay. These directions give us an idea of what the sample essay is supposed to convey. In these directions, the student was reminded of important rules like grammar usage and specificity of details. The student was also given a basic outline detailing the necessary essay structure. We also got the chance to read the essay after the sample student followed instructions. The prewriting assignment helped me understand what my future essays should encompass to get full credit. The readings prepare me for the essay prompt and be able to gather the necessary details.
For Activity 10, the prewriting assignment is about getting ready to write an essay by organizing our thoughts. First, we need to read The Most Handsome Drowned Man by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and then an analysis by Dean Rader, which helps us understand the story better.

The point of this assignment is to help us think about the story and come up with ideas for our essay also understand what’s expected in our writing. So Taking the time to review the guides will make it easier to write a well organized and clear essay.
In week 1, activity #10 gives the instructions for an assignment that would have to evaluate a student’s sample essay, but there are many instructions before we can do that. For the first step, it tells us that we have to read the text “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, followed by step 2, reading the overview of the story as well which Dean Rader writes. We will then look at PowerPoint for the thesis statement and also learn how to insert quotations correctly in a literature essay (Activity 6). The reasoning for learning Activity 5-8 is to ensure that when we read the student’s sample essay, we are aware of the mistakes the student might make and can correct them, but also give them their credibility on being able to add these elements to their literary writing such as MLA Citation. After all is done with the instructions, we can then go on to read the student sample’s 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.

This means that the essay must be organized around a central claim that is proven by evidence and analysis.We are instructed to read Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” and Dean Rader’s analysis to completely understand the narrative and its themes while acquiring foundational information. I will review many resources and additional guides, which include those addressing thesis statements, MLA citations , effective essay formation, and quotation usage. I will finally be able to create an essay that is correctly cited and organized based on these materials. Afterwards I will review the guidelines for the sample student essay and examine the essay to identify the structure and content specifications. This prewriting project aims to make sure I understand the required information and skills prior to starting the writing process itself. I say this because its a very crucial and essential step in preparing me to write the literary analysis essay successfully.
In Activities 1 through 10, we will read The Handsomest Drowned Man by Gabriel García Márquez . Also by using BMCC’s literary library database to explore the life and works of the author and hopefully gain a deeper understanding of his life and work, by doing so we will explore his background and literary contributions and collect important facts that can help us deeper understand his life and motives of writing . Following this, we will analyze a secondary source by scholar Dean Rader, who provides an interpretation of the story. Additionally, we will study the distinction between primary and secondary sources and complete a short quiz to test our understanding. This prewriting assignment will lay the foundation for our thesis-based essay. However, for now, our focus is solely on reading and preparation.
The prewriting assignment in Week 1, Activity 10 requires us to write a thesis-driven essay, meaning the entire essay must be structured around a central claim that is supported with evidence and analysis. This assignment focuses on Dean Rader’s “Overview of ‘The Most Handsomest Drowned Man’” and one of the ideas he presents about Gabriel García Márquez’s short story, “The Most Handsome Drowned Man in the World.” Our task is to engage with Rader’s interpretation, critically analyze his perspective, and develop our own argument in response. The prewriting project allows us to organize our thoughts, construct a solid argument, and receive feedback before producing a final piece. By going through this process, we may revise our argument, increase our supporting evidence, and improve the overall clarity of our writing. Prewriting also allows us to uncover flaws, such as unclear reasoning or structural faults, that we might not have spotted on our own. This process enables us to rewrite and create a more polished and powerful essay. It also motivates us to arrange and structure our ideas more efficiently, resulting in a well-organized and persuasive final document. Finally, prewriting helps us become more confident and competent writers by allowing us to revise and improve our work through feedback.
My understanding of the prewriting assignment in week 1 activity is that we have to write a thesis driven essay (which means to write a whole essay structed around a claim you make that is supported throughout the text using evidence and analysis) about the “overview of the most handsomeest drowned man” by dean rader. We have to discuss one of the ideas expressed in this text by dean rader about the story “the most handsomest drowned man* by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The purpose of prewriting essays is to be able to write something that can be reviewed for feedback so that our writing for the final draft is more successful because the feedback will allow us to see mistakes we hadn’t seen beforehand and will can correct them and hand in a more solid essay that’s much better than whatever we might have given in first. Prewriting gives a opportunity for better organization of ideas and can help us be more efficient in the planning of the essay structure and writing.
