Semester 1 Project - The Rough Draft


Okay, 12-01 and 12-12! For the last two weeks we have been practicing the elements of an IELTS Academic Writing Task 2 Essay. You learned how to write a good introduction (5 sentences - Ease In, State the Issue, Argument, Counter-Argument, and Transition!), and how to write a good body paragraph (8 sentences - ISEC - Idea, Support 1, Evidence 1, Support 2, Evidence 2, Support 3, Evidence 3, Connection!). We also practiced the structure of the essay itself (IOOO - Introduction, One Side, Other Side, Opinion!).

Today I want you to do THREE THINGS.

First, find your research for your topic for your project.

Second, write a first draft of an essay on this topic. Use the information from your research, and the structure I have taught you.

Third, look at this LIST OF APPROVED TOPICS, and double check that you are doing the right one. 1 student in 12-01, and 3 students in 12-12 do not have an approve topic! To those four students - make sure you do not pick a topic already chosen by someone else.
