Keeping Corner In-Class Essay

Page history last edited by PBworks 13 years, 5 months ago

On Tuesday, February 15, you will be writing an essay in school about the novel Keeping Corner.

 

In preparation for the essay, you thought about changes you have gone through.

 

You have also planned for the changes using the essay planner.


Essay instructions:

Write a five paragraph essay which describes the changes that Leela undergoes while keeping corner. You may use the novel itself and your essay planner. Your essay must be finished during the double period.

 

After you have finished writing your essay be sure to carefully check over your work. You should re-read each word, sentence, and paragraph slowly and carefully to be sure that everything is exactly the way you want it to be.  

Below are some specific revisions you can work on:

Have you….

  • Included an interesting title and the correct heading?

 

  • Written in paragraph form and double-spaced your work?

 

  • Spell-checked your essay, including the names of characters and locations?

 

  • Used correct punctuation and grammar?

 

  • Included the title and author of the book in your introduction paragraph?

 

  • Written clear topic sentences that introduce one of Leela’s changes in your body paragraphs?

 

  • Given clear and specific examples (quotations) that back up your ideas in each paragraph?

 

  • Checked that your writing flows and makes sense?


If you have extra time, re-read your essay one more time (EVERY WORD) to make sure you did not miss any errors.
