Here are some common issues:
  • The title of the uploaded document should be just your last name
  • Your name should not appear on the paper
  • An accurate word count should appear at the end of your paper
  • Many of you need to work on smoothly integrating and properly punctuating quotes within your body paragraphs
  • Some papers were very rough in terms of language and will require significant revision before resubmission
Please review my feedback on Turnitin.com and then revise your draft. Once finished, upload the revised version to Turnitin.com by Friday, 4/10. I will not be reviewing your revised drafts, but they will be sent to Mr. Boyd, and he will provide you with an opportunity to continue working on the HL Essay during senior year.
 
If you have any questions, please send an email.

You will have from 8:30-10:00 AM to write the essay and upload it to Turnitin.com.
 
Here is a preview of the directions:
 
Prompt: Write a literary commentary in regard to the following Neruda poem.
 
Directions: You will have 90 minutes (from 8:30-10:00) to read the poem, write an essay, and upload it to Turnitin.com. Although you will be writing from home, it is my expectation that the essay you produce will be solely your own work. In addition, you should keep in mind that commentary writing involves you arguing your own interpretation of the passage. In other words, it is up to you to decide upon the literary features you plan to analyze and the theme you choose to explore. Remember that a generic thesis for a paper of this nature may look something like this: “In the poem, Neruda utilizes __________ and __________ in order to __________.”
