Essays, Projects, and Videos
Sometimes it is helpful to see what other students are writing, so you can see that you, too, are doing what is expected in the course. Are you meeting the expectations for college level literary analyses? Do you develop your own ideas that are distinct from those of your peers? Are you tailoring your content and your style for your assigned audience? Are you writing as creatively and uniquely as possible?
The samples below are student writing, so keep in mind that they may not be perfect. But they are good examples of some element of writing that you're expected to produce in our class. Can you figure out what? As I receive more permissions to share content with my classes, I'll add student examples to this page. In the meantime, I hope you find the material here beneficial. I haven't yet received permission to share Unit 4 Research Papers, but I'll keep trying.
Also, one final caveat: the assignment directions may change from term to term, so your work may have different requirements than the papers submitted by the students in previous semesters. You'll probably notice the research requirement differ for these essays. Occasionally, I switch around the critique formats I assign earlier and later in a term, so some examples look like research papers and others rely solely on the literature for support. Do not rely on these examples to meet your assignment directions exactly. Before submitting your own work, double-check the directions I provide in your class!
