First Essay

Your first essay is Due on September 19.

The topic of the first essay is evaluating the use of "other geometrical figures" than the circle as a
a tool in place of the circle in "Venn diagrams" to illustrate the possible relationships between four sets.  The first thing to know about you essay is that it should be an essay, and in particular a critical essay. It may contain figures and images as an aid to understanding, but it should be primarily and substantially a written description and argument.

 It should contain no fewer words than are necessary to explain the problem and the solution to the problem clearly, and equally no more words than are necessary to explain the problem clearly.  It should be written in simple declarative sentences.  In your first draft: it should contain an introductory paragraph--which "tells them what you are going to tell them", should contain a body most likely consisting of several to ten substantial paragraphs-- which "tells them" and should contain a conclusory paragraph which "tells them what you told them".   

In your second draft, in addition to correcting grammar and presentation, you should evaluate the story you are telling: Is it dead boring?  Is it understandable? It shouldn't be!  Ask a friend or significant other to read your draft, write down  their comments and revise accordingly for the third and final draft.

When you turn in your essay, you should turn in all three drafts.
