Organizing the Essay

Today we worked on organizing our essays because after correcting them over the weekend, many students still haven't made a thesis statement and plan. Students need to use their papers to make a tree map so they can see if their papers are organized and detailed. I gave the students an example of advanced, proficient, and novice type of paragraphs. We are almost done with the papers. We will do an easy conclusion tomorrow and use the rest of the week to revise, revise, and revise.

Work in class:
