Those of you who have had your topics approved can move on to the next phase, which is composing a five to six page paper along the lines described in the prompt found here. Your next step, then, is to sketch the paper out in outline form for Wednesday, March 26th. Look over the tutorial on developing an outline. The key here will be to develop a topic sentence for each paragraph and to find evidence to back it up. I've posted here a sample format that needs to be followed. This outline is rather comprehensive, so don't start Tuesday night. When finished, the bulk of the work for your essay will be done.
Post the outline here for your classmates to see, and also bring a copy to class on the 26th.
Those of you who have not yet received approval for your topic need to immediately. You will not get feedback from me or be able to turn in a paper until that step is completed.
In addition, for Wednesday, read and be ready to discuss (and be quizzed) on the New Yorker article to the right about one of the soldiers and photographs taken at Abu Ghraib. And expect a quiz on the reading.
