Starter #whatever

1. Copy your most current research question into your starter.
2. As of right now, what’s your 3-4 sentence answer to this question?  Think about what you can state with a fairly high degree of certainty.

Paragraphs 3 and 4: Organization and Brainstorming
Do ONE of the following strategies to prepare for Paragraphs 3 and 4:

1. Mind Map (visual organization)
2. Conversation + Notes (verbal organization)
3. Outline (linear organization)

HINT HINT…your intertextuality paragraphs, if done well, could be a good resource to pull from for these as well!

Work Time

1. Draft paragraphs 3 and 4. These should be evidence rich and have in-text citations. Remember that you can paraphrase (put in your own words), but need to cite still or it is plagiarism!  See the POL handout for specifics.
2. Schedule SPAM #1, have your meeting!
