2/18/10 Homework by Sherwood Anderson

The best way to prepare for an in-class essay is to gather all the notes that were taken in class and to look over any important quotations from the book. In the notes taken in class the student should read all the questions that the teacher had asked about the book. Also looking-over plot questions are helpful to fully understanding the book. If the student had circled any important quotations throughout the book, then he should be able to briefly analyze each one. If all these steps are taken then the student should be able to answer any question asked in a short period of time.

The difference between a long-term essay and an in-class essay is that a student is rushed with an in-class essay, but a teacher is more lenient when grading an in-class essay. Students are more rushed with an n in-class essay because they only have fifty minutes to write the essay. When writing a long-term essay the student is able to use a precision of language and choose between various topic sentences. Even though a long-term essay is less stressful, the teacher will grade an in-class essay more leniently.
