Week Nine: Writing the First Draft

Class
Once I approve your Sentence Outline, you may begin fleshing out your ideas. here is a model of how the final draft should look like (also in Class Docs): http://guides.skylinecollege.edu/ld.php?content_id=17039058

For this first draft, we will focus on

a) the proper way to construct an essay
b) the proper way to construct a body paragraph (page 11 of packet)
c) the proper way to use sources (pages 18-18; 24 of packet)

The aim at this stage is getting all the information down as coherently as possible. This draft does not have to be pretty or even complete: you can use disclaimers ("I need a source here") to indicate you understand how the whole will work though it is still in progress.

For next Monday's class

Have a complete first draft ready for Peer Evaluation.
