Dear
students,
The essay
topic for the final Language III exam on Wednesday, June 5th,
2019 will be based on Mr. Johnson from Like a Winding Sheet by
Ann Petry (1911-1997).
The mode
of development we'll ask you to use to discuss the topic is cause-effect
analysis. Please read the text very carefully. Make sure you understand the
scene at the all-night restaurant; many students misinterpret it. You should
also take into account that it was written before 1946, and that the author
used many slang expressions and colloquial language. You will not be allowed to
have the text with you. Don't forget to review our notes on cause-effect
analysis, outline layout, and the connectors you should use for the different
modes of development. You should also review our guidelines on introductory and
concluding paragraphs. When developing the essay you should take into account
that you should introduce supporting ideas clearly
and straightforwardly, then explain them, and if appropriate, or possible,
exemplify them. Your developmental paragraphs should have around 200 words
each .
Please
remember that on Monday, June 3rd, and Tuesday, June 4th we
WILL NOT answer any questions related to the essay
topic in office hours, nor will we check possible outlines.
If you have already enrolled, and decide not to take the exam, please
send us an email through the platform.
Kind
regards,
Prof. A. Argerich
