IE3 Writing: Lesson 3

Hi everyone,

Ican't believe we're already starting our essay outlines! Time sure does fly!

Body Paragraphs:
We learned about the structure of the body paragraphs.  Similar to the introduction, you need to use funnel introduction:  organizing your ideas from general to specific.

There are four types of details you can use in your essay:  (1)  facts; (2) descriptions; (3) statistics; and (4) expert opinions.  

Introductions:  First drafts
I returned the first drafts of your introductions in class.  We went through the different types of comments on your drafts:  purple comments for structure/content and orange comments for grammar.  You also received Correction Symbols.  I will use correction symbols to give you hints about the errors you make in your writing. 

Sending your Documents to my Email:
When you send a file to me, please use the following pattern in your subject line:

IE3W: given name + task name
(e.g. IE3W: Natsumi Outline)

Please also include your name and task in the name of your MS Word file (e.g. Natsumi-outline).

Homework:
1.  Outline:  email by Monday, April 27 before 12 noon

• I will returned your outline by email with my comments before Tuesday, April 28 by 6pm. Print it out and bring it to our lesson on Wednesday.
