The Final Exam is designed to replicate the process of a heightened, scholarly close reading: from information gathering to thesis creation to essay production. You are required to construct your exam in response to the essay contained in Final Exam C.
Attached is: FINAL EXAM C.
You will notice that the directions for Part I.A require you to submit complete Evidence Lists and an Observational Paragraph for the article you have selected. Be sure to identify each list. Here are some further directions and suggestions for this section:
Please review Chapter One from Write Here, Right Now to remind yourself of the specifics of this data collection exercise. A complete version of this exercise will include:
The identification of each list (i.e. “New Words or Phrases,” “Synonyms or Patterns,” etc.)
10 entries for the “New Words” list
10 different entries for the “Interesting Words” list
10 entries for the “Synonyms and Patterns” list. Each entry should be named and each list should contain 3 words or phrases. (So, 10 entries X 3 words or phrases per entry = 30 words or phrases.)
10 Contrasts. These contrasts can be made up of contrasting words you’ve noticed on the page, or they can be contrasting implied ideas you have discovered through reading the text.
Your observational paragraph is a free-writing exercise in which you identify one or two aspects of the text as particularly important and explain how you think these aspects work in this essay. Aim for 8-10 lines. Please refer to Write Here, Right Now for examples of the observational paragraph. Your observational paragraph is NOT the same as your three-storey thesis which you will complete in Part I.B.
Part I.B is a complete three-storey thesis in which you establish your focus, make your claim, and explain the importance of your specific analysis of the assigned article. Use details from the text when creating your thesis. Aim for half a page, double-spaced. Please review Chapter 3 for a detailed description and application of the three-storey thesis.
Your Three-Storey Thesis is the introduction for the essay you will write in Part II. So you do not need to write this thesis again in your response to Part II. Your response to Part II will contain the body paragraphs and conclusion of your essay. You do not need to write your Three-Storey Thesis twice.
Part II is the interpretive essay you will construct using the information you have collected and the purpose you have proposed in Part I. You do not need to rewrite your thesis paragraph, so you will begin your response to Part II by writing your first body paragraph. This section should be at least 750 words long and should not exceed 1000 words and will contain your body paragraphs and your conclusion. Please review Chapters 5 and 6 for information on body paragraphs and conclusions. This assignment is a close reading very much like your midterm, so you are required to cite and analyze specific aspects of the article you have chosen to examine.
This exam will also test your abilities to apply relevant secondary sources, so you are required to elevate your analysis of your chosen article by demonstrating familiarity with “The Social Life of Documents.” Be sure to apply specific concepts discussed in “The Social Life of Documents” during your analysis of specific aspects of your chosen article.

Please note that this exam is a “take-home” assignment like your Midterm or Research Essay. You are not required to limit yourselves to a two-hour “exam room” experience when completing this assignment. You can spend as much time as you want over the next two weeks preparing and writing this exam. Just please remember that 5:00 pm on Friday 19 April is the absolute final deadline for students to submit their Final Exam.
An A-level exam should contain: complete evidence lists (as detailed above); an 8-10 line observational paragraph; a half-page three-storey thesis containing a controversial, text-focused, interpretive claim; several body paragraphs always examining a new aspect of the text; several references to and applications of “The Social Life of Documents;” and a conclusion that culminates rather than repeats your essay.
