Today we began by correcting vocabulary, a portion for a mastery grade and another portion for an exposure grade.
Next I showed you pages 115-118 in the grammar book as reference pages to help you get started on your introductory paragraph/thesis as well as sketching out an outline.
Homework:
By TOMORROW you are to have a typed copy of your introduction including a thesis statement as your last sentence in the paragraph. Under that you can either hand write or type a sketch of an outline. Important things you need in your outline are what each paragraph will be about and where you quotes/paraphrases will be in your essay.
NEXT TUESDAY you will need to hand in to me a hand written (double lined) or typed (double spaced) draft of your essay. Follow the directions on your handout explaining the assignment. I will give you a rubric tomorrow that I will used to grade your final copy. I will be giving you all hour tomorrow (Friday), Monday, and Tuesday to work on this in class.
