Editing. Ex. 22.10 on pages 22-23 in the Everyday Writer EXERCISE book. Write down numbers 1-14 and write the correct word next to each number (for the words in parentheses).
You read pages 404-407 in Bedford about thesis statements. Groups: Do the "Learning by Doing" exercise on page 407 in Bedford. Groups: Is the thesis responding to the prompt in the A.A. intros? In your daybook you write a better thesis for each one in the exercise. Put "okay" next to any that are okay.
Improve your thesis for the A.A. essay so that it truly answers the prompt.
We go to the lab. There you make changes to your A.A. essay and re-submit it. To do this, look at your introduction, your thesis , and the points you make in each paragraph. Do you have interesting and detailed examples to support your points?
After you hand in a revised essay, you may begin working on your draft for tomorrow.
Homework:
1. Draft #1 of your Observation/Description Essay is due. Do NOT worry about the introduction on this draft. Just begin describing what you saw and thought. Consider how to organize the infomation, and decide which details to include and which to leave out.
