Friday
We finished the first two pages of the Introduction, Conclusions, and Titles handout.
We went over semicolon usage. The instructor showed a Powerpoint and we wrote sentences at certain breaks in the presentation.
Next class:
Read Langan and write the conclusion.
Wednesday
The instructor returned the Pt 3s with comments. Students looked over their comments and clarified any they did not understand with the instructor.
A handout on introductions, conclusions, and titles was distributed and from that we worked on writing a funnel opening. Students wrote their thesis statement and worked upward toward the most general statement, which will be the opening statement.
The instructor helped some students refine their thesis statements.
Students are to write their funnel opening and bring it to the next class.
