About Outlines (homework for 10 November)

Ahmed and Jack,

Don't forget to update your outlines tonight, including details about each of the bullet points you showed me in class today and a sentence or two about your sources and references for the information.

08 November Class

Jack and Ahmed,

After reading your posts, I am confident that we are ready to move into the next phase of essay writing: outlining and then--yikes!--drafting.

Based on what I have read and seen, both from your research and blog posts and in class, your projects are progressing very well.

Here's what we are going to cover in class today:

1. Thesis Statements and Outlines
2. How to Organize Data
3. Quoting Sources
4. Documenting Sources--MLA Style
5. The OWL at Purdue

Your homework for tonight will be to outline your entire essay and both print a copy AND post a copy to this blog: Composition Research Source.

Be sure to check this blog regularly from now until the end of term. I will be posting updates and assignments here so we'll be able to keep on schedule.

See you soon,

Ben
