Rough Draft

Part 2 of your essay is due this week. Your submission requirement for Week 4 is to use your outline as a blueprint to complete your rough draft of the essay with approximately 5 paragraphs.   

Be sure to include the following in your submission:  

·             Introduction (about 5 sentences): 

o    The first sentences should be general statements. The last sentence should be your thesis statement.  

·             Body paragraph (about 5 sentences): 

o    Your first sentence should be the topic sentence that lets readers know exactly what the rest of the paragraph will be about. 

o    Use elements of narration and description to explain your interest in this location and previous exposure to the place you have chosen. 

o    Pay attention to the organization (chronological order) and sensory details.  

o    Use transitional words and expressions for coherence. 

o    Pay attention to grammar and punctuation. 

·             Body paragraph (about 5 sentences): 

o    Your first sentence should be the topic sentence that lets readers know exactly what the rest of the paragraph will include. 

o    Use elements of narration, description, and examples to explain one or more activities you will do at this place. 

o    Again, pay attention to the organization (chronological, spatial, order of importance), specifics, and sensory detail.  

o    Use transitional words and expressions for coherence. 

o    Pay attention to grammar and punctuation. 

·             Body paragraph (about 5 sentences): 

o    Your first sentence should be the topic sentence that lets readers know exactly what the rest of the paragraph will include. (Continuation of what you will do there.) 

o    Use transitional words and expressions for coherence. 

o    Pay attention to grammar and punctuation. 

·             Conclusion (about 5 sentences): 

o    Your first sentence should “echo” your thesis statement; be sure it does not repeat your thesis statement word for word. Provide a smooth finish to the essay. 

o    Use transitional words and expressions for coherence. 

o    Pay attention to grammar and punctuation. 

o    Submit the rough draft and wait for your instructor’s feedback.
