understanding (or experience of education)—as it compares to Rodriguez’s.<br />

Guidelines:<br />
Please take time to carefully consider each of these prompts. I encourage you to create<br />
an outline for the one you select. You should also annotate your textbook so that you<br />
have relevant quotes and commentaries about them accessible to you. You will be<br />
required to submit a Works Cited page, so please follow proper MLA format.<br />
Format:<br />
This essay will be typed during class time in a campus computer lab. Submitted essays<br />
should be 3 ½ - 4 ½ pages, double-spaced using size 12 font—Times New Roman, and<br />
include a Works Cited page (following proper MLA format); the essay will be graded on<br />
the clarity of your thesis statement and topic sentences, the depth of your textual analysis,<br />
and your ability to write grammatically correct sentences. You will receive a FINAL<br />
grade for the essay you submit, so careful planning is expected.<br />
