1. In class, we will be adding the final Step of Writing: Step 8 of Writing- Writing the Rough Draft while Integrating Transitions.
Step 8 is done at the same time of Step 7. While you are writing your rough draft from your outline, you will be BOTH embedding source material AND transitioning smoothly between ideas.

For practice, you will need to do the following THESIS STATEMENT PRACTICE.
Make a copy to your Drive account and then write on YOUR copy.

Thesis Statement Practice

Once you have written the thesis statements and come up with the 3 major reasons of why your argument is true (Steps 4 and 5), you will need to pick ONE of the thesis statements and, on your own paper, do Steps 6, 7, and 8. Again, you will do this for only ONE thesis.

You will need to embed at least three direct quotes for Step 7. You may for this exercise, create the quote and citation.

When you get to Steps 7 and 8, you will need to practice the skill of effective paragraphing that we have covered in class on Wednesday/Thursday.

Your writing sample from this one thesis needs to be typed, MLA format, effective paragraphing, and printed off for class on FRIDAY, September 28th. 

Reminder: I will be reviewing all 8 Steps of Writing during Bronco Time on Friday. If you need review or specific assistance, I suggest you attend. 

FOR MONDAY:
BOOT CAMP TOPICS: All Steps of Writing 1-8 will be turned in on Monday, October 3rd. 
For Step 8, you will need to pick ONE of the TWO writing samples that you did for Step 7. Again, just ONE. You will need to integrate TRANSITIONS and PARAGRAPHING into one of your writing samples. You will need to have this final step typed with MLA formatting. Your final copy will be on the top of the 1-7 steps. This all needs to be stapled together in reverse order (Step 1 on the bottom.... 8 on the top).  Do not wait to print at class time... you will not be allowed. Do it before!
