Language Arts:
Your essay work for the weekend is broken down into three parts as follows:
- Friday Homestudy due Saturday, March 12: Write the fourth paragraph of the essay—the third “body paragraph”. Be certain that you have developed it with significant, specific details and/or examples.
- Saturday Homestudy due Sunday, March 13: Write the fifth paragraph of the essay—the concluding paragraph. Restate your thesis/position statement in a memorable way and show its importance to the reader—why s/he should care about the thesis/position statement. The first draft is completed here.
- Sunday Homestudy due Monday, March 14: Revise and edit the first draft of the essay. First, reword it so it is clear and has a variety of sentence types (questions, statements) and beginnings. Edit it for spelling, word use (their/there, its/it’s)capitalization, punctuation.
