Stage 1:  Draft Meeting with your TA
You must schedule a 15 minute meeting with your TA to take place Week 4 (Jan. 31 - Feb. 4).
You must bring the following to this meeting:

• Your thesis statement
• An outline of your paper, including topic and transition sentences for each body paragraph
• As much of the rough draft of the paper as you have completed by that time.

Note:  You must submit your final draft to turnitin.com.
Note:  Information on plagiarism and citation to be provided next week.

Prompt
Write on one of the following prompts:

1.  Drawing on your reading of Brave New World make and defend a thesis about the nature of autonomy and its role in a good life?

2.  Drawing on your reading of Brave New World make and defend a thesis about the ideal state.

3.  Compare and Contrast the character Lenina Crowne from Brave New World with the character Tracy Freeland from the film Thirteen.
 

Formal requirements
Typed, double-spaced, with reasonable sized font (11 or 12 point) and margins (1-1.25 inches).  The length should be about 3 pages – at least 800 words, but not more than 1200.

The top of your essay should include your name, the name of your tutorial leader, and your tutorial number (you can look up your tutorial number on go.sfu.ca, if you don’t know).  Please, no title pages (save the trees)

Thesis Statement
Your essay must have a thesis statement.  The thesis statement must come at the top of your paper before your introductory paragraph.

So, the start of your paper will look like this:

Name
Tutorial leader; D1.0X

Thesis statement:  Based on Singer’s moral principle, the parents of conjoined twins, Mary and Jodie, have a moral obligation to have the twins surgically separated.
 

    Now the paper begins with a very brief introductory paragraph followed by the body of the essay.
