*You will have to fix the format if you decide to print it! Sorry!

Biography Projects!!!

Don't forget, rough drafts are due for ALL classes on Tuesday, March 1st!

Double-check...Do you have:

• a powerful statement in your introduction and conclusion?
• a clear thesis sentence that is an opinion?
• your thesis stated in the introduction AND conclusion?
• three clear main ideas in your body?
• a topic sentence for each body paragraph (2-4)?
• a transition sentence for each body paragraph?

It's best if rough drafts are typed (easier for me AND you)...and it should DEFINITELY BE DOUBLE-SPACED!!!
