1. Warming up with a Quizlet Live review and a creative assessment on Puritan Words, List 1
2. Revisiting your thesis statements (if needed); please see my feedback on Wednesday's blog
Is it clear?
Is it specific?
Is it debatable?
Is it provable?
Which of the criteria above do you need to work on with your own thesis? Take a few minutes to either revise your thesis or to type yourself note with specific criteria to work on.
3. Taking yesterday's Lego ideas and applying them concretely to essay-writing (in small groups)
- Read the sample student essay.
- Help each other find structures for building an essay by generating a guideline sheet.
4. Figuring out where you need to go next:
- Reworking your thesis?
- Developing an outline?
- Researching more?
- Writing your introduction?
- Composing a body paragraph?
Note: Please start a new document called "Draft" and save it in your Cultural Hysteria folder.
HW:
1. For Monday: Compose one page of your first draft (double-spaced). It can be an intro and part of a body paragraph, or your first body paragraph and part of your second. Think about what writing routine works for you and for this particular assignment.
2. Heads-up: FINAL DRAFT IS DUE NEXT FRIDAY, SEP 15 BY 3:00 PM in www.turnitin.com
