Goal for the day: Write half a section of your essay so you can finish the other half tonight at home
We’re going to start today with a short exercise on topic sentences. We’ll use Matt’s Topic Sentence Ninja handout. The handout asks you to create a topic sentence for a cluster of sentences. This is great practice. The next step next week will be to apply this to your own writing. You’ll do this in groups of three.
Then the time is yours to keep working on your project paper. You might get sick of me checking in on you, but in my mind, gathering thoughts, compiling notes, and creating an outline is the hardest part of the process. I want all your efforts to be as efficient and enjoyable as possible.
Homework due Wednesday, April 15th
Finish my taxes… Just kidding. They’re done. If you’ve started writing, finish the section that you started in class. If you’re not writing yet, finish your outline and email it to me.
