Climbing the Golden Arches

“Climbing the Golden Arches”   This week we’re working on concluding paragraphs.  The conclusion is a chance to bring your ideas together and emphasize the key points in your essay. Post 1:  This post is due Thursday  8/27/2020 In paragraph 18 (the conclusion) of “Climbing the Golden Arches” (pp. 439-443 of The Norton Sampler), Nuñez’s recounts several important points drawn from earlier in the essay; specifically, she talks about what she has learned.  Choose one of the points she mentions and cite an early passage that supports her conclusion. What was your first job like?  Write a concluding paragraph that shares the key points of your experience and what you learned. Post 2: Respond to a peer’s comment on Nuñez’s story.  Did he/she establish a clear connection between a main point in the conclusion and a body paragraph in the story?  Also comment on your classmate’s paragraph about a first job.  Does it read like a concluding paragraph?  Why or why not?  If not, how could it be revised to be more clearly an ending paragraph? INSTRUCTIONS: Post an initial response to both parts of Post 1. Post a response to one of your peers. Post on two different days. Length: Post 1= 250 words minimum. Two paragraphs of 5- 7 sentences each. Post 2= 150 words minimum. Post your word count at the end of your post. Use quotations from the literature to support your points. This discussion closes Sunday at 11:59 p.m. ET.  No posts are accepted after that.
