The Essence of the Paper
Today we take one more step toward organizing the collaborative essay. Please share your individual pieces with each other. Take time to ask each other questions and begin to figure out how each section works individually and together. After reading each of the pieces come up with one sentence that captures the essence of the paper.
Outlining
Use the sentence to tease out the main points of the essay. Identify each point and then the supporting details. Develop a formal outline before you leave class today. Use the outline so that each person has a clear idea of what to focus on and turn in by Friday. Remember that this first draft will be graded. It should look, smell, taste, feel, and sound like an essay. Aim for that 95!
