Class will begin with a discussion. We will discuss the following questions:
What is an outline?
Do you usually write one when you write essays? Why/Why not?
How helpful is it to write outlines?
Did you write an outline for the EPT or for the diagnostic test? Why/Why not?
There will be a POWERPOINT that we will refer to. Slides 2 and 3 will be covered first.
You will then break up into groups of four and refer to the outline on page 65 of THIS HANDOUT. Look back at the PowerPoint and answer the questions presented on slide four. Be prepared to share your responses with the class.
You will then read the essay Changing English: The African Influences on page 57 of THIS HANDOUT. You will then work in pairs to fill in the outline on page 66 of THIS HANDOUT.
You will then work individually. You will convert your diagnostic essay (the essay you wrote about smoking on the second day of class) into an outline form. Once you have completed the outline, open up both the outline of the diagnostic and the diagnostic itself on your computer screen and switch seats with one of your classmates. You will then be required to make comments on your peer's work.
We will conclude with a discussion about what you have learned during today's class.
