  1. CM107 Unit 6 Seminar Instructor:

  2. Even though the final project is not due until the end of unit 9, beginning the writing process now will help you avoid the frustration that occurs when you wait until the last minute. Take the topic idea you have chosen for your final project essay and do the following: • Begin with an APA formatted title page. • Then, for part I of this assignment, write a SENTENCE OUTLINE that establishes a thesis and organizational plan for the essay you will write. The more detailed your outline is, the more valuable it will be. • For part 2 of this assignment, take that outline and flesh out the ideas by writing a draft of the essay itself. The draft itself should be around 400-500 words. It does not have to include a formal essay introduction or conclusion, but it should have a clear thesis and should be organized into clear, generally well-developed paragraphs. You should incorporate and use at least 2 reliable sources and cite those sources both within the body paragraphs where you use the source information and in the References page at the end of the draft. • For help with the Research Process and your Unit 6 project, be sure to review the following video created by your KU Library staff: • http://khe2.adobeconnect.com/cm107_unit6_kol_research_tutorial/ UNIT 6 PROJECT

  3. For this outline, create a thesis statement for the introduction. • For now, just have a short sentence in the conclusion. • For the body paragraphs, follow this format: Topic sentence. • Supporting detail 1 • Supporting detail 2 • Supporting detail 3 Outline

  4. Let’s look at the sample outline. • What is the problem with the topic sentence of the second body paragraph? • How can it be modified? • Topic sentence of third body paragraph should be a statement, not a question. Sample outline

  5. Let’s look at the sample draft. • What is the problem with the thesis statement? • What is the problem with using the long quote in the first body paragraph? • What is irrelevant in the second body paragraph? • At which point does the third body paragraph veer off the main idea mentioned in the topic sentence? • How can this be changed? What would be the topic sentence for the newly-formed paragraph? Sample draft

  6. Let’s look at sample discussion board post. • This should explore the same topic as your outline and draft. • Do the discussion board first. • Here, you can generate ideas for your outline and draft. Sample discussion board post
