Putting it All Together

Today we did some peer reading of intro, conclusion, and body paragraphs. Individual suggestions for revision are the following:

Try one of the following in your introduction and/or conclusion:
1. Add a sentence using a comparison (simile or metaphor)
2. Use a rhetorical fragment.
3. Combine two sentences
4. Change a word in your attention-getter or closing statement to a more descriptive/sophisticated word.

For tomorrow, the complete, typed, rough draft is due. Your draft must include:

MLA heading
Creative Title
Intro, 3 body paragraphs (2 PIEs each), conclusion
MLA headers with last name and page numbers
Works Cited citation near bottom of final essay page
