Due Wednesday 9/17

READING
Finish On the Road
For those who weren't in class, we reviewed the following sections of Hacker (I encourage everyone, even those who were in class, to use these sections as a reference as you go forward):
--Thesis statements: 10-11
--Topic sentences: 70
--Evidence: 358-364
--"Signal phrases": 364-5
These are the four building blocks to any good paper.

WRITING
Draft an outline for your paper. If you're happy with the thesis statement you handed in today, you can use that. Or, if you're not happy with it, you can start fresh with a new one. We will spend Wednesday doing individual conferences to talk about your papers, so this outline is not set in stone. But you will benefit more from the conference if you come in with an outline that you've devoted some time, energy, and thought to.
