Once you have your body paragraphs in place (2-3), examine those paragraphs. Use those paragraphs to craft your thesis and introduction. Once the introduction and body paragraphs are in place, move on to writing your conclusion. At that point, you are reading to proofread and to ensure that your MLA citations are in place. We’ll use this writing process each week, and the more you practice the process, the faster the process will become. Remember: you’ll use these writing tools outside of our class, so spending time here now helps you do well in this class and in all future classes that require academic writing.As with each week in this course, it is important to begin your work with good, working definitions of the key terms and concepts for each week. You may use Wikipedia as a starting place, as that source offers a great list of further references. Be sure to explore those additional references and resources provided on all Wikipedia pages until you find a definition that makes sense to you and puts the term or movement in context. You may also choose to include the terms and their definitions in your paragraph plan. Please read this paragraph plan!
