LEARNING TARGETS: As a result of today’s class,

you should be able to define and create

1. Clear Topic Sentences
2. Effective transtions

You should be able to do the following

A) Explain what is being asked of you on the mini-essay (see classroom)

B) Prepare questions about anything you don’t understand on the mini essay so you can ask in class tomorrow. (Don’t panic–we’ll be working on it together in class).

IN CLASS:

1. IF YOU HAVE HEADPHONES….go back to yesterday’s post and watch the videos posted there about topic sentences and transtions.
2. Read the following linked articles about transitions and topic sentences.

TOPIC SENTENCES: HOW TO GUIDE

TRANSITIONS: TIPS AND TRICKS

(Note: if you don’t find these articles useful, feel free to search for and read others. I found these user-friendly)

We’ll talk more about these and practice a bit tomorrow.

If you have time left, start gathering ideas for your essay. At the very least, decide which prompt you’d prefer.
