Outlining Your Writing

I know, outlines can be a pain; however, they are extremely useful in helping you keep your mind on track.

Now that you have read the student essay, take a moment to compare your annotations to this outline of the essay.

The outline is long, as is the essay. Did you happen to notice that it was longer than 5 paragraphs. Oh my. I didn't know that could be done!

Now it is time for Part II and III of the writing process.



Part II
1. Open a new Google Doc.
2. Rename it as PeriodFirstNameLastNameCA (2MicheleMcConnellCA)
3. Share the document with me (give me editing rights)
4. Create an outline for your essay and revise your thesis statement as needed.

Part III
1. Once your outline is complete, begin writing your essay. (Type it on the same document as your outline.)
2. Take note of the transition language you will need for the essay.

Rough draft is due on Tuesday!
