WWII Quiz and Sequencing Your Paper

WWII Quiz
Take the WWII quiz.  If you were absent, you'll need to stay after school on Tuesday or Thursday to make it up.

Starter #17
Read through your first draft.  Underline or highlight the three strongest sentences in your draft.


  1. Write each of the three best sentences in your starter.
  2. Looking at this draft, what ideas are you going to keep?  Why?
  3. What are you still unsure about/struggling with?
  4. What is the purpose of an outline when you are writing?  how can you use them to make your writing better?
Logical Sequence
Now it's time to start thinking through the basic topics you want to cover in your paper, and putting them in order.
  1. Make a list of the topics you want to cover (go paragraph by paragraph).
  2. For each topic, write a sentence or two explaining why you put it where you did. 
HOMEWORK
Finish the logical sequence activity above.  You should come into class tomorrow with a finalized perspective statement, and a list of the topics in order, with the reasons you put them in that order.
