1. In order to prepare for an in-class essay, one should have all class discussions with him. The question of the class essay is built upon the class discussions. The student should have the qualities of each character as well as the major decisions of each characterin order to create an analysis as quick as possible. If the student has underlined and wrote notes while reading it is easier to find facts and quotes in the book to support his idea.
2. The difference between an in-class essay and a long term essay is the amount of time allotted. When writing an in-class essay, one must be able to get his idea and the facts to support it for his thesis statement as soon as possible while a student doing a long-term essay can spend hours getting the best possible idea he can produce. Once the student has his idea for his in-class essay, he should have a quick outline of what is going to be mentioned in each paragraph. A student writing a long term essay has the ability to write a large outline with bloc quotatoins and complete sentences. Also the student writing the in-class essay does not have time to take a break or refresh his mind, while the person writing the long term essay does. The in-class essay will also have many errors and mistakes, because the student writing it has little or no time to check them. In conclusion, a student writing a long term essay will have a well written and thorough essay, while a student writing an in-class essay will have a messy, shorter essay that will not show his best idea that he can produce.
