So What?

I know that today's class was a little bit frustrating so I wanted to take a moment to explain a bit more about "so what?" The idea that I was trying to drive home today is that I wanted to push you to keep asking that question until you really can't anymore, until you have pushed that question as far as it will go about whatever idea you are exploring. As you are thinking about your own essays and the ideas that they contain, trying asking "so what?" incessantly as a prewriting and planning technique; then work to include the relevant answers to that question in your essay. This will both help you with development and with sorting through your ideas. Thanks for sticking with it today.
