By this point you should have started your profile essay and, hopefully, already did an interview. Regardless of what stage you are at with your essay, I am sure you are thinking about how you will organize your narrative, build your characters, create unity, build scene, and, most importantly, kee your readers interested. I would like you to draft one paragraph of your essay here. It can be any part: intro, body, conclusion. The goal is to begin thinking about the way this will be written and get some feedback before the draft is due in a week from myself and your peers.

Blog Due 2/5: Profile

Using the list of possible profile subjects you created in class on Tuesday, please select the one you have decided to write your first paper about. Write a paragraph introducing your subject, including the things you already know about this person, why you selected this person, and what you want to learn about this person.

Remember to post by classtime Thursday and respond to at least one classmate.
