By the end of the day on Tuesday (4/16), please put a draft of your technology paper in your folder!
Checklist!
Write an opening using one of the techniques we’ve talked about: tell a quick anecdote, ask a question, use a compelling quotation etc.
End the intro. paragraph with a refined thesis — remember, a refined thesis addresses the topic along with your COMMENT ON THE TOPIC. Remember this is an informative essay, so you do not need to persuade, but you still need to let your reader know your “take” on the subject.
Use all three sources in the body of your essay! Quote your library source, the textbook (or an alternate source if you and I have discussed this), and your primary source!
In the body of the essay, I want you to use all three sources. You must quote at least once from each. (Feel free to quote more than once from each.)
Conclude by leaving your reader with something new (but related) to think about! Use an anecdote, or compelling quotation, or even a question.
