 * For this essay, you have the option of working with a partner, though you are not required to do so. If you do, you can benefit from shared analysis, collaboration, and a built in editor, but you also need to remember that the final product will be a shared document/grade. Choose your partner wisely, and know that you email last minute to tell me that you don't want to partner up anymore.

Theme/Evidence/Thesis Packet: We worked on this in class https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyJMDPQu1Xz2pBpLJsFE4pOen_QSN35bg4vHaX6L7yU/edit?usp=sharing

HW: Come to class next time with your introduction done. Remember, your introduction ends with your thesis. You also should have had a healthy start on the packet in class where you gathered evidence and began to analyze. That's where we're going next, so the more you get done there, the better shape you'll be in for the essay in the long run.
