ETA Essay: SOAPSTONE


Bishop Composition: SOAPSTONE


It’s time to return to your emulation-through-analysis essays. Skim the original post here, and then move into the updated SOAPSTONE assignment below.

Start by reading the following instructions, which are adapted from this blog post:

The original College Board explanation is here, if you want another look at this. Your assignment is to use the embedded handout above to complete two analyses:

  1. Apply SOAPSTONE to the essay you have read in 100 Great Essays.
  2. Begin to brainstorm about your essay, using SOAPSTONE to outline.

You will also be given a copy of the following handout, which has a list of tones (often the hardest element to identify) on the back with abbreviated definitions:

A copy you can edit has been attached to the Google Classroom assignment. You will handwrite your responses before typing and submitting them.
