Using Mentor Texts to Revise!
Humanities
Below are three student sample “A” papers. While these papers are not perfect, they should give you a sense of the kinds of moves you should be making in your own essay. You’ll be reflecting on these samples in your discussion this week.
For this discussion, you will reflect on what you learned from reviewing the student sample Rhetorical Analysis “A” Essays. Remember that the samples are on a different topic (Artificial Intelligence) than the one you are writing about (Aliens), so you will focus on things like organization, examples, analysis, etc. not content. Please use bullet points or numbering, and identify 2-3 things you learned about writing this type of essay for EACH of the three samples; therefore, you should have 6-9 bullets or numbers. Be sure to label which things you learned came from which student sample.
