Today we edited body paragraph one using the checklist on the back of the sample sheet for body paragraphs.
Next, we treated writing body paragraph two like a test though that you can see how quickly the work can get done when you focus.
Homework: Type up all four body paragraphs. Edit them using the checklists. Revise. Double space. Print them out. You need to have them here on Monday. No matter what. Print them out at lunch if your printer jams at home.
At this level, you need to have all the literary must-haves in the essay so that I can focus on the development of your ideas and on your writing style (verb choice, vocabulary usage, sentence structure, sentence variety, varying the beginnings of sentences, quote integration, citing, etc).
Edited, typed, double-spaced draft (not including the conclusion) is due:
Monday, Oct. 27th
Essay is due: Wednesday, Oct. 29th (You will need a cover page and a bibliography) We'll discuss these on Monday.
