This is just to remind you: Your complete Essay 2 second draft packet is due this Wednesday, 4/15, by the start of class. I realize that I've made some exceptions for Essay 1 second drafts, but this time I will make no exceptions. If your complete packet isn't in my possession, with all the materials stapled and in order, by the time I start class on Wednesday, then your essay is late. So please be sure to be on time in your submission.
Here's another piece of advice: Your midterm contains some clues for you to put a better Essay 2 together. You should be receiving your midterms back today, Monday, 4/13. And since the assignment for the midterm exam is similar in many ways to the assignment for Essay 2, then some of the comments I've made on your midterm can be applied to Essay 2. Of course, the midterm requires you to talk about just one article, and Essay 2 requires you to compare two articles, but in both the midterm and Essay 2, you need to talk about how the authors argue, how they appeal to their readers, and why that matters in the end. So can you see how to take the lessons you learn from your midterm in order to produce a better Essay 2 second draft?
(Also, please note: The assignment and prompt for Essay 3 appear in the blog post right below this one.)
