Class today- April 1st (No joke)

Today and into tomorrow/Thursday, by the beginning of class, you will be writing two EXPOSITORY SECTIONS (not paragraphs.. sections) derived from the following prompts:

Expository section #1:
How does Chaucer employ the literary concept of SATIRE in the Wife of Bath's Prologue? 

Expository section #2:
How does Chaucer employ the literary concept of IRONY in the Wife of Bath's Prologue?

However, before you respond to EITHER of these prompts.. the first line (which will be a stand alone line.. it has nothing to do with the prompts, MLA, etc. will be:

My audience wants to see the following in my writing:
1.
2.
ETC...

Then... you may begin writing.

Things you need to remember:
1. You are to only use the Chromebooks for word processing and uploading to Google Drive- You do not use the internet to look up anything.. definitions, examples, essays..  Doing so, results in a zero for the assignment. Remember academic honesty as you work on this without direct monitoring.

2. Section does not mean paragraph. The writer controls paragraphing for their audience's/writing needs. These sections may have multiple "paragraphs". You, as the writer, need to have the ability to effectively paragraph. In order to do this, you need to consider: when do I need to start a new paragraph in order to punctuate the importance of the point I just made; when is the subject I am handling TOO BIG to rattle on and on... so I better remind the reader, what again, am I explaining/arguing... and then start up again; when/where I am going in another solid direction

3. With effective EXPOSITORY writing and effective PARAGRAPHING... you need to EFFECTIVELY TRANSITION through out your sections AND between your paragraphs.

4. Textual evidence. Textual evidence. Textual evidence. If you don't cite the PRIMARY text... it shows you don't KNOW the primary text and you are writing in generalizations. If you find yourself stating something along of the lines of "The Wife demonstrates insecurities"... and that's it.. you have done nothing.. You must follow up a statement such as this with EVIDENCE of your statement...  SHOW don't TELL. Chaucer is poetry.. you need to cite LINES.

5. This is EXPOSITORY writing... what does that mean? This is the PURPOSE of these sections.. so demonstrate it! It is NOT an argument because the fact that these techniques exist in this text.

6. I want a TITLE for these two sections. Just one title.. for the two sections. Utilize the colon method.

7. Save to Google Drive Folder that I have shared with you via email by the time class begins on Wednesday/Thursday.
