Lecture 3: Introduction to Paragraphs

Although the syllabus says we are going to focus on essays today, it makes sense to tackle the essay building blocks first.  So, today we are going to:

• Reading Review
• Introduction to Paragraphs
• Paragraph Activity
• Paragraph Activity
• Homework

 

  

 

NOTE: For homework I will take photos of your group paragraphs so don't worry about that point. All you need to do is read Chapter 3 in Handbook.
