Journal Blog #5: What happens next?

You have been working hard on your Introductions, and by now, you will all have clear Thesis Statements with a point and a direction...  now the same question from Day 1: What happens next?

Remember to focus. You have plan. You have your point; don't lose it. Think of 2-3 body ideas that clearly, concisely, and cleverly support your point. Develop them with relevant supporting details. Remember your reader. If a reader reads it, would a reader understand it? Or does it need further explanation, examples, and clarification? You need to ask yourself again and again.

It is fine if you get it, but it only matters if the reader does. Get it?

Journal Blog #4: What is your area of interest?

In this journal blog, explain what area/subject/situation...  and topic that you're planning to write about. Make sure it is narrow and specific. This may not seem like a big deal now, but it will be later when you start to write your essay. Once you know it, you can then develop a clear Thesis Statement so we can know what happens next.

Post your ideas here, and I will work to help you focus. Remember to include your ID# in your post. Aj. M
