English 111 Per 4: Research Essays - to May 1st

Posted: April 27, 2020

Hey there!  This is just a reminder that if you are choosing to work through the essay to prepare for next year and beyond, we are taking these two weeks to work through one of two pathways: 1) start with a great intro, and organize from there, OR, 2) Organize the best way to prove your thesis, draft it together, then go back and write the intro.  The thesis statement should be done, and last week we looked at how to write a great introduction. 
If you are someone who likes to start with the intro, that should be done by now (feel free to send it in!).  If you are someone who likes to write the essay first before going back to write the introduction, you should be figuring out how to organize the paragraphs - we also looked at great ideas for transitions between and within paragraphs. 
Those working towards the credit should be working on this, and contributing to the book study virtual discussion in the "Teams" channel called "English 11 Book Study."  If you are not able to access Teams, please let me know - jean.macdonald2@nbed.nb.ca
