Objectives:

• To examine open response essays and identify quality analysis and style.

• To apply learning gleaned from samples to one’s own essays that will be written in the future.

Tomorrow in Seminar, we will be pitting your timed writings head-to-head and crowing a champion for this assignment.

To prepare, we will be reading the timed writings today. In your notebook, create a two-column chart to record your responses. One column for the ID# and one column for your response. Mark each essay as high, mid, or low. Do not write on the essays!
