Your topic sentences

Here were the topic sentences we wrote in class today. For your paragraph (which is due tomorrow), you may use the one you wrote below or you may create a new one. If you create a new one, email it to me for my approval:  holly_cin@yahoo.com (subject line "topic sentence")

Write a paragraph that is 8-10 sentences in length that supports your topic sentence with details, explanations, examples, and possibly statistics or quotes. After you write it, follow the requirements you will see on the "self-editing worksheet." If you were absent, that worksheet is in the back of the writing book on p. 317.

Bring your paragraphs along with your self-editing worksheet to class tomorrow. If you need me to print it out for you, send it as an attached file. 

Tomorrow in class you will peer edit each others' work. Then you will take it home tomorrow, correct and revise it (second draft), and then turn it in to me on Wednesday. I will collect both drafts with the self-editing worksheet and the peer-edit worksheet.
