Transitions and the Body of the Essay

Today we spent some time in the computer lab to improve on the introductions written last week. Comments made on the students' papers should help make the introductions proficient. Afterward, the students needed to choose one of the introductions for the final paper and start the body. In the body, students are to use transitions to have the information flow from one idea to another. I passed out an example with both sentence transitions and basic transitions. I also passed out the rubric for the paper. Students will have the next two days in the computer lab to finish the body of their paper.
