Mon 10/30 (S): In-class essay on Balzac
Please review my comments on your first in-class essay
Also, please hit "reply" to these comments, but don't "resolve" them
Your reply can be as simple as "got it" or "understood"--just something to show me that you have read and understood my side comments
If one of my comments doesn't make sense, then please let me know!
I'd suggest doing some "pre-writing" on one or more of the essay topics that we discussed in class on Wednesday.
Note that you can do quick freewrites or more formal essays as practice at home. Any kind of writing would be helpful!
