Writing Skills I, Homework for Week 3

1. For homework, please read pps. 15-18 of the reader and complete Task 1 (making improvements).

2. Analyze the essay distributed in class "How 'Empowerment Became Something for Women to Buy" (the distributed version has been edited and shortened) in terms of the 11 questions featured on pg. 14 of the reader. (You will need to determine which questions are relevant for this context and which ones aren't.) Identify the main thesis of the article and what function each of the paragraphs in the essay has. (For example, note how the author begins the article to immediately establish authority and get you to listen to her in this context.) Bring the essay with you to next week's session.

3. Have a look at the essay you turned in this week in anticipation of my comments. What are you proud of (what do you think "works") and what would you now change?
