Ideas Draft: Essay Five

1. Overall Selection—write a good page that describes how you are thinking about your overall selection. Consult the #4 of the “5 on Essay Five” Handout. Please include questions/problems. This can be more brainstorm-y in nature, or you can use it to try and generate some material for the “topic sentence” aspect of each headnote (consult #5 of the “5 on Essay Five” Handout).

2. List for the five images as you are considering:

• links to images or titles of images (whatever even minimal form of citation you have, and please note difficulties you are having with citation).
  
• The passage (with page number) of the HCC Reader that this most closely relates to (it might be several places or a paragraph, so just include where it is most strongly connected.
  
• Aspects/concepts you are considering focusing on in your headnote (i.e. remember the discussion of the Hoch/Brugman photo which included more info on the “new woman” rather than Hoch as a person or her art or her relationship with Brugman—this is the type of choice you will have to make with your image. In other words, think about what you want the image to represent).

3. For two of your images, include rough drafts of your headnotes/captions. Experiment with the rough draft—it might help you to write more and have your peers and I read it and make suggestions about what is necessary. It might help you to write out the 6 C’s more formally (i.e. to do the chart for each image). Whatever you decide, this part of the process should help you to generate material (i.e. things to say) about the images. If you are not formally using the 6 C’s (content, citation, context, connections, communication, conclusions), remember that they should be “intimately involved” in your headnote writing, but that they should also not simply be listed, and should be included as you see fit in the headnote. Read over the information on Primary Sources, #1 of “5 on Essay Five” Handout, the Writer’s Handbook (112-115), and the information on Professor Moeller’s website on primary sources. This will help you determine what is fit to print.

*******Email this to me and to your peer group by 12 midnight Sunday, February 10. Due to the fact that I will not have easy access to a computer, it is absolutely necessary that I receive the email by the deadline. Please try to cut and paste in the email rather than sending as an attachment. I realize certain typographical details won’t transfer, but I’ll be aware of this. Please print out your peers’ email drafts and spend some time reading them, making helpful comments or questions, before the peer conference on Tuesday and Wednesday.
