Monday's class

Hi everyone,
Hope you're having a nice weekend..
On Monday I want to do some work on checking and proofreading your work to try to eliminate as many language mistakes as we can before you send me the final version on Tuesday. That doesn't mean that it has to be finished, but I would like you to bring at least a draft of your introduction and paragraph which we can work on a little in class.
As I said, the finished work needs to be submitted to me by email by 1.15 on Tuesday. If not, then you will lose marks!! Please make sure you include a cover sheet (there is an example on page 6 in your book).

Remember, you need to write:

An OUTLINE of the whole essay (Qu. A OR B on page 5)
A full INTRODUCTION
ONE full PARAGRAPH (this can be ANY main body paragraph from your outline)

Don't forget to include a WORD COUNT - the number of words should include the outline

For the introduction, try to use the Immigration introduction we did in class as a model. So it needs to include:

  • Some background/overview (why is the subject important
  • A commonly held belief about the subject (using language from page 64) + counter argument
  • A reference from another source to show that some research has been done
  • A THESIS statement
  • A description of HOW the essay will answer the question
Any questions, ask me tomorrow!
