Great work in the lab today. Tomorrow, (Friday) we'll peer edit so bring a copy of your essay.
You should have a typed introduction and three body paragraphs: (350-450 words each).
Follow the sample I gave you and its guidelines. Body paragraphs follow all the rules of the literary paragraphs you have been writing except that they must refer to the overall thesis as well as referring to the topic sentence of the paragraph. Make sure you are proving your thesis throughout the entire essay.
You never want the reader to have to wade back into the introduction to remind them of what it is you are proving.
We'll have a checklist to follow for the peer editing session. I will also show you how to write the conclusion.
Tuesday Checklist:
Submit: the good copy (double spaced) essay, the edited draft, the quotation log, plus a title page and works cited page.
I'm really looking forward to reading your essays.
