Day 5: Paragraphing

1. Review of Thesis Statements:

• Complete the Tutorial on Introductory Paragraphs.
• Check how two ENG099 students moved from a Significant Idea in the reading to a Claim, to Reasons for the Claim, and finally to a Thesis HERE.

2. Read/annotate "Paragraphing" and "Transitions" on pages 17-20 of the packet.
3. Read/Discuss: The professor's development of a claim and of a thesis on pages 21-22 of the packet.
4. On your own: If necessary, revise your thesis and outline for "I Know the Truth, so Don't Bother me with Facts." For those who turned in your outlines as I requested, here is my assesment

5. Then, open Blog 3, and

• revise the summary so that it works as an Opening Paragraph
• begin writing Body Paragraphs for "I Know the Truth, so Don't Bother me with Facts." You should have minimum two, hopefully three paragraphs.

By the time you are done, Blog 3 should be a response "I Know the Truth, so Don't Bother me with Facts" that

• summarizes the reading
• selects ONE  Significant Idea in the reading to respond to
• responds to the Significant Idea using a claim OR a thesis
• develops the claim or thesis with at least two Reasons
• develops each Reason with at least one example per reason
• is at least 400 words long
