Henry David Thoreau quote - Library Way - NY City

The end point for our study of Dear America is that you are going to end up writing an essay for this text. Your text response essay will need to discuss:

- how the text constructs meaning
- how a text conveys ideas and values
- how a text is open to a range of interpretations

(Beardwood, 09, p.67).

Our learning/study of the text is about preparing for this. It is about getting to know the text well so that you will develop ideas and points of view about it that can be discussed in an essay.

Of course, to be able to discuss one's ideas and points of view in an essay one needs to have strategies and skills for approaching essay writing. This blogspace will discuss what an essay is, ways one can approach writing an essay and the little tips and tricks that one can use to help prepare for writing essays under SAC and exam conditions.
