You should have decided on what your paper topic will be and whether it will be a cause and effect essay or a compare and contrast essay as homework from last class period, so have now you will brainstorm ideas for your paper topic by using the invention techniques discussed in class on Friday, September 3rd: listing, free-writing, clustering, or questions.
You will discuss your ideas that your invention technique generated in pairs. It is ok if you and your partner differ in essay type or essay topic.
Have students search online for possible sources for their paper and to generate a few more ideas. Be sure to mention that they need a minimum of two sources for this essay.
You will work on using the ideas you generated during the brainstorm activity and put them in an outline form. If you already have an outline, use this time to review the comments I gave you and make it better.
Don't forget about the key components of an outline. We will review the OUTLINE PEER REVIEW document. This document should serve as a guide for your peer review of your classmate's outline. You may find it helpful to reference during this process.
You will begin by moving one seat to your left and peer review the outline of the person that was in that seat.
If there is time left, you will move another seat to your left and peer review the outline of the person that was in that seat.
