…if you took the past four days off from thinking about the essay, that is something you're going to have to take into account as you continue your work this week. The graded draft is due for ALL classes EXCEPT per 7 on Friday of this week.
If you copied down the group intro we wrote in class, then your first paragraph is basically covered. Your last (concluding) paragraph is a restatement of your thesis statement and topic sentences, so no new ideas should be introduced in the conclusion. If you have your thesis and topic sentences done, then your conclusion should be easy. That leaves you with the three body paragraphs to do.
If you did NOT work on the essay over the weekend, then, I suggest the following work schedule:
Wednesday night:
- Type up the introduction, using the group intro as your guideline.
- Type up the conclusion by reframing your topic sentences and thesis statement in new words.
- Draft the first BODY PARAGRAPH as thoroughly as possible,
- Type up the topic sentences for body paragraphs 2 and 3.
Thursday class/study hall/night:
- Draft the second and third body paragraphs.
- Review the first body paragraph and improve/expand/edit
- Check each paragraph for specific use of evidence and internal citations
Friday class/study hall:
- Review second and third body paragraphs and improve/edit
- Submit via Google Docs or print and hand in by 2:10.
HOMEWORK: See above or last Friday's blog for suggested work load. Per 7, please come in tomorrow with TWO pieces of evidence for each body paragraph. Use the information we gathered in class to help you.
