English 11E: Write another 200 words of your essay tonight

We spent the entire period in the computer lab using databases from our library's website. A good one is elibrary and also Different viewpoints. We also created our works cited page using Bibme and remember it must be MLA style.

You must use at least one article as a base from which to write your personal essay. Use the article in several ways:

• as a source to corroborate/defend your opinions
• as a source which you wish to argue against
• as a source from which to educate yourself about the topic 

You must also use several other techniques. Be sure to follow the criteria list and the essay outline. You will have tomorrow's class to work on the essay which is due in draft form Wednesday for peer editing.

Think of someone you can interview or several people you can interview as primary sources make the essay so much more powerful. Use anecdotes from real experience or tell the stories of others.

Remember, your test is on Thursday. Open notebook. Make sure that you have all of the techniques defined. Hand in the notebooks on Thursday.
