Planning Your Papers

Commas rule review.  Then,  do Ex. 38.1 page 93.

Then we look at the textbook Ch 10, how to organize this paper.

Now you gather in groups of three.  Explain to the group what problem you are considering.  All of you discuss the possible causes of the problem.  Then what solutions you propose.  All discuss possible other solutions.  At the end of this, each of you must have an outline written in your daybook for your paper. Put it on the board.
