On Monday you will use your notes from the graphic organizer to write a short, organized, and grammatically accurate essay on the role of the writer in culture. This will be a timed write which will be graded for completeness, but evaluated on the 6+1 writing traits rubric, including Organization, Conventions, Voice, Content, and Fluency. Completeness will be entered as your grade. The rubric will be used to assess you.
In the essay you will touch on the importance of literature and you will connect your opinion to the work of Adichie, Shafak, Solzhenitsyn, or Akpan. You will consider the role literature has played in your life and the role you think it will play for you in the future. Remember, this is your opinion! Make it authentic!
This timed write will be considered your rough draft. You will have 50 minutes to write. I will score the work on the rubric and next week you will revise the essay according to the scores you receive on the rubric.
The draft/timed write is worth 25 points
The final copy is worth 75 points
Come prepared on Friday with your graphic organizer (due upon completion of the essay for 40 points) to write on these topics.
