Type up a practice introductory paragraph and one body paragraph about Thoreau's essay. You are typing two paragraphs total, not an entire essay.  And it is for practice, not an actual essay, but put your best foot forward. This is literary analysis, different than autobiographical narrative writing - you are back to textual analysis.  Practice timing yourself - see what you can come up with in 30 minutes. There is no specific prompt - you can take any approach to it that you prefer.  You might analyze what argument or arguments of Thoreau's are most convincing, what is a theme of the essay and how does Thoreau develop that theme throughout the essay, or what relevance the speech has to today's social and political climate.  Or you might find a prompt about it online. Either way, be sure to base it all around analysis of literary topics (diction, paradox, metaphor, etc.). The first paragraph should include your thesis. The second paragraph, your body paragraph, should focus on one literary topic beginning with a topic sentence, provide examples of it, and analyze what meaning it creates in relation to your thesis. 

When you cite passages refer to the page number. Be sure to include an introduction, two-three topics, a thesis, a topic sentence, evidence, commentary, and finish with a transition. 

Submit this to turnitin.com.

Submit your rough draft to turnitin.com, and have it available in class to be edited by your peers. Printing it is optional, but your classmates must have access to it to edit it for you.
