Essay Exam Blogs 1 & 2

Before writing this post you need to read the two selections in your textbook listed below:

Chapter 24

  1. “How Exams Written Under Pressure Differ from Other Essays” (714-715).
  2. “Analyzing Exam Questions” (717-722).

When you have finished reading these sections, I want you to create two separate blog entries.

In the first blog, I want you to tell me what you have learned about essay exam questions from the reading. This blog should serve as a form of a study guide for your preparation for the essay exam. In this section feel free to quote from the text, cite page numbers, and use examples as you see fit. Make certain that you demonstrate that you have both read and learned from this entry.

In the second blog, I want you to brainstorm questions you would like addressed in class regarding your own upcoming essay exam. I will be using this post to create our lecture for Thursday. Therefore, you need to make sure that you have good questions so that you do not lose your participation grade for that day.
