We will begin by discussing what features an academic essay should have.
e will then break up into groups of 3-4. You will have roughly 10 minutes to go over your diagnostics that you can access from your ESL 114_FirstName LastName folder on your Dropbox account. As a group, try to arrange what you wrote on your diagnostics into an introduction, body, and conclusion. You will also need to underline the thesis statement and write the topic sentence of each body paragraph.
As a group, you will present your work to the class.
There will be a short lecture on the details of a 5-paragraph essay. You can follow along with the following 5-PARAGRAPH ESSAY NOTES.
Later we will work on an in-class exercise.
