Aren't you excited? Yay.
Stage VI is all about thinking back through your journey as a writer in 1301. Of course, look at the writing assignment deets tab for more information, but once you've done that, here are the four things I'll be looking for when evaluating your papers:
1. Narrative -- How does the essay illustrate who the author was as a writer coming in to 1301? Does the narrative address the struggles/difficulties of the course, or lack their of? How did the author overcome their struggles?
2. Vivid Details -- The key to a successful stage VI is all about specifics. How does the author incorporate specific detail into their essay? Do they quote specific readings? Give examples from class discussion? Refer back to their essays?
3. Discourse -- How does the author situate their development as a writer within the greater discourse of writing studies?
4. Significance -- How does the author articulate the significance of their development and journey? What was the outcome of it all, and why is it important? What does it mean for their future as a writer/student/person in the world?
And if that's not enough direction, wouldn't you like to see an example?
Example of an A paper, though, of course, this is only one of a million different ways to earn an A on this assignment.
