Working on Rough Drafts
- Step 1- Read this entire blog post.
- Step 2- Open Word; if you have already created a document use that document; save early and often!
- Step 3- Start typing all of your paragraphs! Use your hand-written rough drafts and start typing your body paragraphs.
- Do not worry about any headings, format issues, font, titles, etc.
- We will follow a common format; you can always format your document last.
- Step 4- Use your topic sentence packet to start each body paragraph. Each body paragraph should start with a topic sentence from the topic sentence packet.
- Step 5- Follow your outline in order to organize what information is in each paragraph.
- Step 6- Use transitions to link ideas and paragraphs together.
- Step 7- If you want to work on typing/body paragraphs at home, you need to transport this document electronically back and forth between school and home. OR- I am more than happy to write passes for homework club for any students this week.
Ways to transport your document:
- - copy and paste in the body of an e-mail; work on it at home, then copy and paste it into Word at home and repeat to get it back to school
- - attach the Word document to an e-mail and work on it at home and school
- - use Google Docs
- - use a flash drive
