The opportunity has been made for students to approach me and see about extra work they can complete before the finals in order to bring up a lower mark. You must have permission first and speak with me about it so I am aware you are going to do this, but for one student who has asked for extra work, this is the assignment opportunity. Write a formal literary essay following the specific organizational pattern we have been discussing. Be sure to reference three pieces of literature, one being a large piece and at least one being a smaller piece to reference. The essay prompt/question is: “Explore, using literature as evidence, reasons why authors write reflectively and the benefit it has for readers.”
