The Body: Part II

Today we completed more peer evaluation of the Nectar paper paragraphs. Here is the individual editing that students completed in class:

Draw boxes around the first 3 words of each sentence in the paragraph.
• What do you notice?
• Do you begin each sentence the same way? If so—mix it up.

Count the number of words in each sentence.
• What is your pattern?
• What potential problems do you see with the numbers?

Replace two words with more descriptive/sophisticated words.

Replace repetitive signal phrase verbs with more specific verbs.

And here is the assignment for Monday:

Write your introduction and conclusion.
Introduction:
General discussion of topic (beginning with attention-getter)
Introduction of title and author
Specific thesis statement
Conclusion:
Restatement of thesis
Summary of analysis
Return to general discussion of topic


So, you need…
A typed document with:
MLA heading
Introduction
2 body paragraphs
Conclusion
FYI: You will write the 3rd body paragraph, add a Works Cited citation for the book, and number the pages to have a complete rough draft DUE TUESDAY, 2/24.
