Construct a draft/outline that addresses the following questions. This should apply to both essays and dialogues.
1. What is the title of your essay/dialogue?
2. What is the topic of your essay/dialogue?
3. a) How many sections will you have; b) what will the headings be; c) what will the content of each section be; and d) in what order will you present the sections?
4. What readings will you incorporate in each section (make sure to incorporate at least 5 sources total)?
5. What peer views will you be incorporating and in what sections (make sure to incorporate at least 2 peer views from two different peers)?
6. What thoughts of your own will you be incorporating–agreement, disagreement, references to your experiences, etc.; and regarding what readings/issues and in what section(s)(you must incorporate at least 1)?
Failure to answer the questions as they are written will result in an invitation to revise and resubmit for half credit. For instance, these answers are not acceptable: “I don’t really know what my sections will be”….”Or I’m pretty sure I’ll be using Freire (1970) and Ladson-Billings and Tate IV (1995), but I really don’t know what other pieces fit with what I’m trying to say”…”Or I definitely plan on using some peer views.”
