AW Fall 2013: Lesson 9

Hi everyone,

Can you believe it?  We have now finished our entire first draft of our research papers!  The most difficult part of our course in now over. 

Concluding Paragraph:
In today's lesson, we looked at the different parts of a concluding paragraph:  thesis restatement, body paragraph summaries and a final thought.  The most important sentence will be your final thought; you want to leave the reader with a strong impression so that he/she remembers your essay. For your final thought, you can use the following types of sentences:
a.  prediction
b.  recommendation
c.  rhetorical question
d.  quotation

1. Complete your Concluding Paragraph
2. Blog Comment #7
3. Copy all your first drafts (introduction, body paragraphs and bibliography), staple them, and give them to me in next week's lesson. 
4. Complete your entire first draft (make corrections to your introduction, body paragraphs and bibliography)

• Due Tuesday, November 26 by 12:00 noon by email.
• Remember to tell me which two sections you would like me to check again.
