Read five of the essays submitted by your fellow students, then respond to each one in 300 words, primarily as a reader.
Deadline: November 29, 2021.
Read five of the essays submitted by your fellow students, then respond to each one in 300 words, primarily as a reader. Address the following questions:
Does the essay make clear how the writer gathered and evaluated key information used in the book and/or the writer’s approach to any factual issues raised by the book?
Is the essay written in an engaging way that goes beyond simply providing information about sources?
Does reading the essay intrigue you enough that you’d like to read more?
Given that most readers come to Sources and Endnotes sections after they’ve read the book, we’re at a disadvantage reading these as standalone essays. There’s nothing to be done about that, except to acknowledge reality and do our best to be helpful to you, the writer, by raising any questions we think readers might have.
Due midnight Nov. 29. Submit a list to dean.jobb@ukings.caof the students whose work you have responded to(names only – I’ll access and review the responses online)
