Classwork and Homework

Today in class we started by introducing the annotated bibliography, what it is and how to make one. Then we practiced making an annotated bibliography entry by using the references from the synthesis writing activity we had at the beginning of the semester. Next, we talked about a new type of introduction, the Dramatic Entrance (p. 215 in your book). In addition to the Dramatic Entrance, we finished up the class by talking about writing good thesis statements for our Process Analysis Essays using the topic, the audience, and the purpose. As you finish the semester, please remember to keep running up the steps. not to drag yourself up the steps, like Rocky! The PowerPoint for today can be found in the link below:
