What? Work day!

Using the same technique we practiced with essay X yesterday, do a reverse outline for your timed writing from the S1 final.
To begin with, each student did the Reverse Outline activity below with his/her essay from the final exam.
I. Copy Your Thesis
II. What is the purpose of the paragraph? (This should be in the topic sentence).
 a. What evidence supports this?
 b. More evidence (if present)
Repeat II as needed.

Once they finished,  students had several options:

•  Using the outline you just created and our discussions of the sample essays to guide you, revise your timed writing from the final (extra credit).
•  Review the comments on your topic and begin planning your essay.
•  Catch up with your Othello posts at Moodle.
•  Read act 5 of the play (which you will be quizzed on tomorrow).
