Tues's HW -- Write Body Paragraph #1

You are all well on your way to developing a strong, compelling, unique essay on the Lowell Mill Girls.

For tomorrow, Wed, Periods 1,6,7 must have completed a body paragraph that follows the requirements of the checklist I handed out in class.

Due to the 1/2 day tomorrow, Periods 3,4 -- you are to have your completed paragraph due on Thurs.

For those completing Options 2,3, or 4 -- you need to have a thinking map completed for tomorrow, and a body paragraph for Thurs.

Please make sure you are on track with this, as we will be moving full steam ahead later this week with Introductions/Conclusions.

Here is the checklist, handed out in class:

o Topic sentence should be your first claim, written in a compelling, strongly phrased sentence Œ

o State your first generalization that proves your claim. 

o Starting with a transition, provide 1^st specific piece of evidence that supports your claim. (see pg. 7) Ž

o Properly cite your source. (see pg 8)

o State your second generalization that proves your claim. 

o Starting with a transition, provide 2^nd specific piece of evidence that supports your claim. (see pg. 7) 

o Properly cite your source. (see pg 8)

o State your third generalization that proves your claim. ‘

o Starting with a transition, provide 3^rd specific piece of evidence that supports your claim. (see pg. 7) ’

o Properly cite your source. (see pg 8)

o Write a concluding sentence that wraps up this claim. This should be a concluding thought that helps tie the claim back to the thesis. “
