I revised some dates for the colonialism essay. I am hoping that moving back the date on settling on a topic will entice more people to write on Heart of Darkness. New dates:
1. Topic and thesis, plus informal written statement (a short paragraph) of what you intend to argue, what evidence you intend to draw on, and why you chose this topic. This must be on paper, and will be turned in. Wednesday Feb 1.
2. Intro and (revised) thesis statement. Rough topic Sentence Outline. Friday, Feb. 3
3. Two body paragraphs and final topic sentence outline: Tues. Feb 7
4. Third body paragraph Friday Feb. 10. Beginning Feb 10 through 11 pm Feb 15 you will be able to submit a draft of your essay to turnitin.com. You will have immediate access to a similarity report and grammar check.
5. Complete draft for peer editing. Complete Work cited page. Tuesday Feb. 14
6. Final draft is due to turnitin by 11 pm Thurs Feb 16
