Your introduction is the first impression your paper will make on its reader. It should be interesting, to the point, and it should outline the body of your essay. Not only will this outline guide your reader, it will guide you too.

First things first…lets discuss the structure of your introductory paragraph:

Hook: this is the first sentence of your introduction and the first sentence of your essay. MAKE IT COUNT. You can ask a question or give a fact or a statement.

Thesis: this is the part of your introduction that tells readers what your entire paper is about. It doesnt just give the reader the overall topic of your essay, but the topics of each of your body paragraphs. Thesis should state the three points you will make.

Writers use all sorts of hooks. They can be anything from music lyrics to shocking facts, to jokes or funny stories. It really depends on the topic and how you would like to connect with your readers.

This week, do some research on hooks for writers. For your initial post, provide us with your hook and thesis you plan to use in your This I Believe Essay.

Discussion Board on “Everyday Use”

Think of the different meanings of the word “use.” It can mean to utilize something, like you use a key to unlock your front door. Or, in its more destructive meaning, to “use” someone is to treat them terribly, to take advantage of them in some way. Keep these various meanings in mind as you read this highly symbolic story.

Dee and Maggie seem to be from different worlds, even though they came from the same place. What separates these sisters? How does each woman define the meaning of heritage? Does one sister deserve the quilts more than the other? What does the quilt or other items symbolize? Use the story to help defend your answers.

Respond with 250-300 words and remember to respond to at least two classmates, four or more sentences to each.

Unit 4 Discussion – Inheritance Pick one genetic disease that is controlled by a single mutation. Explain how this disease is inherited. Is it a single-gene mutation or a chromosomal mutation? If it is a single gene mutation, describe the pattern of inheritance: autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, X-linked recessive, or something else. If it is a chromosomal mutation, describe the nature of this mutation. Also explain what is known about this disease, including inheritance, symptoms, and prognosis, and how these are affected by the disease gene (if known). If this is a single-gene trait, explain why this allele maintained in the population at a frequency higher than the mutation rate. Discuss what treatments are available now as well as the prospects for new treatments in the future. Cite your sources using in-text citations and full references in APA format.

Step 1: Draft Your Essay

Use your outline and annotated bibliography to guide your writing. As you write, you may need to adjust your plan, such as replacing one of your subpoints because the research leads you in a different direction. This is all part of the writing process.

Your draft should include at least seven paragraphs: An introduction, five body paragraphs (with at least one for the counterarguments and rebuttals), and a conclusion. Be sure to proofread for grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors.

Step 2: Reflection

Below your assignment, include answers to all of the following reflection questions.

• Provide one example of a place where you have used rhetorical appeals or source material to support your argument. How does this enhance your essay? (23 sentences)
• You will revise this draft for your final paper. Are there parts of your draft that you feel like you’d like specific feedback on, or have questions about? (34 sentences)

Step 1: Review Feedback and Plan Revisions

Read through the comments you received on Touchstone 3.2. Use this feedback to guide your revisions and address the suggestions. Remember that your topic must be the same as in Touchstone 3.2, so if you change topics and hand in a paper on a different topic, your submission will be returned ungraded.

Step 2: Revise Your Essay

Use the feedback to revise your draft and highlight where you made changes or revisions. Focus first on major elements like the strength of your thesis, organization of ideas, use of evidence, and clarity of argument. Apply the analysis skills you learned in Touchstone 3.1.

Consider whether:

• Your thesis is clearly stated and supported throughout.
• Each paragraph is focused on a single subclaim and includes analysis.
• Transitions between ideas and paragraphs are smooth.
• You are using effective rhetorical appeals and an academic tone.
• Sources are integrated effectively and cited properly using APA formatting.
• Information is presented in a logical order that is easy for the reader to follow.

Step 3: Proofread Your Essay

Read your paper aloud and consider asking someone else to read your work. Remember:

• Double-check for correct formatting, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization.
• Your final essay should be 68 pages (approximately 1,5002,000 words, not including your references or reflection question responses).

Step 4: Answer the Reflection Questions

Below your assignment, include answers to all of the following reflection questions.

• How much time did you spend revising your draft? What revision strategies did you use, and which worked best for you? (23 sentences)
• List three concrete revisions that you made and explain how you made them. What problem did you fix with each of these revisions? Issues may be unity, cohesion, rhetorical appeals, content, or any other areas on which you received constructive feedback. (45 sentences)
• What did you learn about your writing process or yourself as a writer? How has your understanding of the research process changed as a result of taking
