PM Summer Reading
Whitaker, 9/16/10
Over the summer, in preparation for an exciting year of world history, you were
assigned the task of reading The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad. Lucky you!
Please construct an essay that is no more than one page, as I will not read anything
beyond that. Writing a concise essay is a learned skill. An essay is typically 3-5
paragraphs, the first paragraph serving as an introduction and the final as a
conclusion. A paragraph has between 3-5 sentences. Please include your thesis
statement in your first paragraph (it does not need to be the opening line, but
should be strong enough that it is evidently your thesis and discernible as such).
Include topic sentences to help your transitions between paragraphs.
Due Monday September 20th. Review your blue expectations hand out if you have
any questions about due date policies, and please feel free to seek me out if you find
yourself in need of assistance!
