1. SPOT CHECK of essay 1. Give your paper to a partner. They will answer YES/NO to the following questions.
1. Does it have a thesis statement?
2. Are the topic sentences claims that support the thesis?
3. Are there MLA cited, direct quotations in the paragraphs to support the claims? Does the textual evidence come from across the text, or is it all jammed toward the beginning?
4. Does the paragraph structure resemble our discussions?
If your partner answered NO to ANY of these questions, are you SURE you want to turn this in today? If you're not sure, turn the paper in Wednesday.
2. Closing conversations: let's discuss some of the passages from the paper.
3. Time permitting: Let's start the film Our Daily Bread, and we can finish it while we begin discussing Claude McKay.
4. NEXT Class: Claude McKay poems.
