  1. Writing Notes Take them!! – go ahead and take out a paper and write these down! Thank you.

  2. Introductions and Thesis: • Introductions: Introduce your information. • Hook our attention: • Scenarios • Questions • Definitions • Interesting facts • Background: • What are the basics that we need to know in order to understand everything else you will be talking about? • THESIS: The sentence that tells what you will be talking about: • TOPIC + OPINION + EXPLANATION: • A registered nurse (RN) is a fascinating profession because you provide a service that was not always available to help both the patients and the doctors.

  3. Body Paragraphs: • Topic Sentence • Facts • Explain / Analyze the facts • Think of it like this: • SAY: what does the research (fact) say? • MEAN: what does that research (fact) mean? • MATTER: Why does that matter to your thesis / topic sentence? • Conclusion • Indent every paragraph! • New idea / topic = New PARAGRAPH

  4. Conclusions • Wrap it all up. • This is the final thing anyone reads! • What was your point again? • Add any commentary you feel had no other place. • Talk to your audience. • Be sure you remind us of what you just wrote about.

  5. History • Use a timeline-like approach • Information should flow • Start at the beginning and work toward the present

  6. Small but important reminders: • Add Page Numbers • Parenthetical References: • You are the best class ever (Montes 42). • Include the actual citation in your works cited • SH = Subheading – you need one between each section • Order your sections: history, professionals impact • Need to paraphrase and quote! So obvious!

  7. You will create a page from a grammar book • Write the term / rule • Define the term / rule • Create an example and explain the example. This example should help us remember the term. • Make it colorful and creative • Use your Writer’s Inc book / textbook to help you

  8. TERMS: • Parallel Structure • Comma usage rules (4) • Verb Tense Consistency • Sentence Construction: Dependent & Independent clauses combining • Dependent & Independent clauses • Verb tenses (past, present, future and all related) • Clauses (define the different types and give examples) • Phrases (define the different types and give examples)
