Okay, guys. Here we go. The first timed write is less than 24 hours away.
The question is in the powerpoint file, so you guys can review that. Just remember, that note card is supposed to help you STRUCTURE your essay. Get your skeleton to help you with the essay, and then write the rest in class. Don't take forever with it.
Some of you were concerned with the conclusion part of the essay. I have two pieces of advice:
First, don't repeat your thesis. Repetitions and redundancies can't happen, especially if you don't have the time to play with.
Second, give an opinion about your response. Here, give an opinion about how Montresor comes together as a character, and how well/poorly you believe Poe did with this. You could also give a brief connection about how Montresor's characterization brings the story to its maximum intensity (and potential to disturb its reader). There's a lot you can do with this...just don't bring any new discussions into the mix.
You guys are going to be fine. Remember, on the back of your code sheet, I gave you the timed write rubric, but in case you lost it...
