You've Been Drafted: September 6, 2016

Focus: What do we need to build a draft?

1. Warming up with a sample essay; does it meet our class-generated class guidelines?

• Paragraph by paragraph, highlight which techniques from our guidelines this writer uses.
• Line by line, talk through what one body paragraph does.

2. Offering you a brief mini lesson on using evidence: quoting, paraphrasing, and leading in (click HERE for the slides)

3. Using your annotated bibliographies for your cited evidence

Option 1: Try making a comment on each statistic/quotation/fact you might bring in.

• Will it be in quotations or paraphrased? 
• Are there any areas where you need to do some more research? Make yourself a note.

Option 2: Copy and paste directly into your outline or draft

• Either paraphrase or leave in quotations. 
• Go ahead and CITE it right now (will save you time later).

3. Drafting, drafting, drafting with a focus on using and leading into your evidence
