Class Work
A. Please take out your color chart. You are almost ready to write! You have collected information in a random fashion. The goal today is to get that random information into a sequence of some sort. There are many ways to organize for writing, but this essay will most likely work best if you do the following:
1. Number the chart from the MOST interesting to the LEAST interesting information.
2. Some authors write from best to worst. Others like to save the best for last. What will you do?
3. This next part is simple. Give your paper a title. The title must contain your color as one of the words.
4. Create a Works Cited page in MLA format . . . back to www.easybib.com.
5. Use MLA formatting for your essay, even the draft.

6.Homewok: Post your MLA finely formatted draft in CANVAS by Tuesday. Include the Works Cited page.
B. Let's look at transitions. These may be helpful as you write your essay and move from point to point.

Let's practice. Each table will be given a set of transitions. Your assignment is to write two sentences. Select transitions from your assigned category.
Write your sentences on the board. (Use any board!)

You only need to complete the first Writing Skills path builder activity. Let's look at this together. Move on to #2 for homework. (Some of you already finished this. Congratulations to the early birds!)
Some of you had trouble seeing your scores. I will change CANVAS. Your reflection is not due today.
