- When you are in the initial steps of a new piece of writing, what process do you go through? What kinds of things help you to develop your ideas?
- List the writing step and activities you plan to do today. After each one, write what you hope to gain from it.
Writing Time
Get started on your writing to answer the question: "What's the best way to change an unfair situation?"
Possible things to do include:
- Develop a thesis statement
- Write a crappy first draft, then go through and underline or highlight the best parts of it
- Do an essay outline to help you organize your thoughts
- Gather a list of quotes from seminar articles we've read that you might be able to use in your essay
- Use a graphic organizer to start outlining your body paragraphs
- Get a thesis, and start writing!
- Talk through ideas with your group or with Lori
- Other?
By the end of class, you should have:
- A thesis statement
- A list of possible paragraph topics
- The start of either an outline or a rough draft
HOMEWORK:
None! Enjoy your weekend. Next week, the writing whirlwind begins!
