1. The best way for a student to prepare for an in class essay is to predict possible essay question using your notes token in class and looking at the big idea of the text. In reviewing the student’s notes to find possible essay question they will be able to pick up major themes. Themes found in the book will help the writer of the essay predict a good question. Another good idea is to look in your books for the plot of the book to make sure you have evidence for your paper.
2. In a long term essay the writer has more time to correct and polish up his work. This allows a much more quality paper to be produced. The student may also be able to get help on his paper. Also Ms. Cohen may grade harder on a long term project because you have more time to do it and the ability to get feed back.
During an in class essay it requires a high amount of concentration. One must be well prepared to make a strong clear argument that gives a direct answer to the question. Unfortunately the writer will not have the time to find many quotes and break them down so the student must make sure his argument is strong. An in class essay cannot possibly be perfect but it is in your best interest to proof read if possible.
