Project 1: Revising Your Point

Directions:

Step 1: Go back to the draft of Essay 1 that you submitted on Monday.

• Pick ONE of your body paragraphs. Write down your point/topic sentence here just like you had written it in your paper.

Step 2: Once you have your topic sentence (point) written down, revisit the directions and requirements for a Point.

• You can revisit these lectures: Review PowerPoints: Essay Format & Tips on Writing and Preparing for Project 1: Practicing PIE.
• Remember that your point should be an opinion that is based on fact.

Step 3: Based on the information above and what you know about Points, re-write your topic sentence. Make sure it follows all of the requirements above.

*For this activity, please focus only on the Point. We will be revising the rest of the paragraph soon.
