Today we reviewed the expectations for the Midterm Exam, and how to prepare for it.
We went over the basic 5-paragraph essay structure, incorporating sources into your essays, and evaluating/writing effective thesis statements.
We also read and discussed responding to a sample midterm article, titled “Hello, Stranger.”
