As we expected, the 8th is coming fast. In addition, we are working on the collage essays. Be sure to review (again) the characteristics of a paragraph -- topic sentence, supporting details and evidence -- and make each of your seven paragraphs solid on its own.
Then, look for ways to arrange the paragraphs and transition between them. This is the Collage Essay. It may not have a thesis; it may not have an introduction; it may not have a conclusion. But it must have the seven paragraphs...all well-developed. And it will need a title.
The abstract you drafted (and will get back to again) is an exercise in precision and reading comprehension.
The collage is an exercise in paragraph structure, transition, flow, and sentence level style.
The final researched essay will bring everything together.
