As mentioned in class, your poverty essays are due next Friday. In order to see a tangible improvement in your grades, you need to
(1) revisit the processes of question analysis,
(2)plan your essay seriously using the outline
(3) read, read, read, read, read to secure relevant evidence (data, case studies etc) to substantiate your essays.
You must also remember both the structures of a paragraph + the essay. I strongly suggest that you approach Emily and request to read or -if she allows - make a copy of her essay. I cannot stress how fantastically structured her essay is - primarily because she did ALL THE 3 ABOVE STEPS. The strength of her essay resides in both the clarity + organisation of her ideas AND the maturity and depth of her argument + variety of evidence.
Recall that the essay titles due on Friday 22 May 2009 are:
1. Are the poor an inevitable feature of any society?
2. 'The poor will always be with us.' Is this an appropriate response to the problem of poverty in the world?
For your own benefit, find time to complete the following required reading:
