Also on Tuesday, we will look back at the assignment sheet, and you will do some final revising to your essays, and we will talk about how to turn in your work and the process for getting your grade.
Here are some general tips:
1. Your essay should have a title that gives an accurate (and inviting= maybe even clever?) indication of what you are writing about. I do not want to read any essays titles "research paper".
2. Headings should give a content-based indication of what is in the section that follows. Use your headings to give your readers detailed, accurate information. Informative headings are KEY components of effective essays.
3. As you revise:
- Make sure each paragraph relates to/develops your focus. If writing goes off on a tangent =>delete it! Longer is NOT better.
- Check to see that your points are in the right order.
- Write transitions between your paragraphs/sections.
- Make sure you include a statement of the relevance of your project to writing studies.
5. The Data analysis section should be the longest section of your essay. Demonstrating that you can break down complex language passages or actions into their component parts and identify patterns and relationships that explain how that language or action works is the point of this course.
Blog 27: If you gave your presentation today, post your reflections on what you have to work on

Have a great weekend, and THE END IS NEAR!
