Happy Monday!  I have heard from quite a few of you that you are finishing up the research, and needed some guidelines on how to incorporate that research into the paragraphs of the essay.  In the file below, I have outlined the steps we have taken thus far (thesis statement, introduction, organizing topics/ideas to prove the thesis).  I have also included a loose formula to think about when setting up a paragraph for a research essay.  

Remember that this is an assignment that you have only done a couple of times in your lives, and we are not together to ask quick questions of each other.  Do not hesitate to email me with any questions that you have! Others are probably wonering the same things.
