Writing Workshop- Day I

PART I- Prewriting

Prewriting Reflection: Please respond briefly to the following questions: 
What is the main purpose of an introductory paragraph?
What does it mean to use formal language throughout?
What does it mean to have distracting grammatical errors?
What does it mean to express your ideas clearly?
What does it mean to develop your ideas?

1. Take a moment to read through the essay topics. Choose one that you think you can work with.
2. Next, take a moment to read through Narrative on your desk.
3.Begin selecting evidence that might be relevant to your topic.
4. Copy down a short quote on your Points of Interest sheet. Give yourself a general location of where your quote (evidence) is located. For example: Chapter 2, paragraph 4. That's called a citation.
5. Beside each citation, explain the rhetorical device being used.
