Instructions

It is time to put all the parts of the essay together. Before you submit it in one MSWord document, please revise and edit it carefully; simply putting the pieces together without significant revising and editing will not gain you many points.

· Begin with the  topic you wrote about in the  Week 2 Discussion:

· Revise your introductory paragraph with your hook, 2-3 sentences of supporting details and/or evidence, and thesis statement.

· Revise all  three of your body paragraphs. Make sure you are putting your best arguments forward.

· Do not use direct quotes. We are focusing on  paraphrasing ideas from outside sources in this class.

· Revise your conclusion.

· Revise the whole essay using ARMS (add, remove, move, substitute).

· Edit the whole essay using CUPS (capitalization, usage, punctuation, spelling).

· Put all the parts together in one clean document by 11:59 PM EST Sunday, Week 7. For a sample paper, check out the  Purdue OWL .

· Check out the  rubric  here.

Instructions

Strong beginnings and endings have the ability to persuade readers to read through an essay and to believe the writer's argument. Spend time crafting, revising, and editing the introductory paragraph.

The  Introductory Paragraph should include all the most interesting highlights. Remember while a movie trailer attempts to attract the viewer through visual means, the introductory paragraph attempts to attract the reader through powerful images in words:

· Begin with the  topic you wrote about in the  Week 2 Discussion.

· Create a strong hook. 

· Add at least 2-3 sentences of the most interesting supporting details and/or evidence. Use evidence/quote sandwiches and/or explainer sentences if needed.

· Revise your thesis statement from the  Week 3 Assignment and add it as the  last sentence in the introduction.

· Submit the Introductory Paragraph in one MSWord document. Please add the  thesis statement to the top of the document and hand it all in by 11:59 PM EST Sunday, Week 5.
