Practice Module on Editing a B essay to an A
Site Copyright: Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata and Individual Authors, November 2002.
"Fair use" encouraged.
- Preparatory readings for module.
- Discussion questions.
- What should you immediately look for in an A essay?
Consider sources.
- Where do you find sources?
Class notes, text notes. The names your teacher mentions frequently are your teachers' primary sources.
- Experiential activities related to module.
- Self-test questions related to module.
True or False? And explain briefly why it's true or false. (25 words or less)
- It doesn't really matter which sources you use.
- The fact that you give many specific details in evidence proves your point.
- One way to take up space legitimately in an essay is with definitions.
- Accepting full responsibility is one way of denying responsibility.
- If the essay is short, a single reference at the end to your course text is adequate.
- Conceptual linking we had in mind as we prepared the module.
