HW for 9/10

1. Essay 1 first draft due.  Read Rules for Writers, Chapter 2: “Draft the Paper.” Not only should this help your draft of Essay 1, but we will further discuss "drafting introductions" next class as a way of looking at revising the first draft you bring typed to class.

• In short, besides being penalized for not having your essay, you would love out on an editing and revising workshop on your introductions if you weren't prepared for Wednesday. 

2. Read A Long Way Gone, Chapters 13-16 (114-151).  Chapter 14 shows Beah being recruited into the state army (not the RUF rebels). Some of the things "brainwashed" into Beah and those soldiers may be relevant topical points for your essay, either draft 1 or later.
