IE3W Lesson 3: Body Paragraphs

Hi everyone,

I can'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-task-given name
(e.g. IE3W-Outline-Hideaki)

Please also include your name and task in the name of your MS Word file (e.g. IE3W-Outline-Hideki).

Homework:
