Preparing for Monday

1. Write your outline in class on Friday, using your Outlining Questions handout.

2. Type or write out one page of notes, but do no have pre-written paragraphs unless you want an automatic 0 for the exam.

3. Monday: bring in outline and the one page of notes, typed or written, to help you write essay. NO PRE-EXAM DAY written paragraphs (automatic 0, if done).

• You will hand in notes and essay progress on Monday after 45 minutes.

3. Wednesday: You will be given back your notes and progress. Finish second half of essay in remaining 40 minutes.

Other questions help you study and brainstorm content for the essay (whether a topic point, reason, or example):

• What is one thing that you do or try to do every day to make yourself feel good?
• What are other things you do to improve yourself? What could you do if you don't think about daily self-improvement (besides thinking about improving!)? 
• Why is writing hard for you, and what are two or three actions you take or can take to make your writing improve?
• Where do you see is the biggest area for you to improve as a scholar?
• Do you think it is more important to be practical or to be a dreamer and why?
• What do you think will make you happy in your life? How do you expect to attain that?
• What are your hobbies and how do you think they help you in your life?
• What is your biggest prejudice, and how do you think you will overcome that prejudice? What can you do and what can others do?
• What is your best advice for listening even when you don't want to listen?
