Thursday 02/15 Writing - Assembling and Thinking about Information

Purpose: As a writer, I can assess then complete my notes/research so I can REdraft tomorrow.

1. Review: As historians we have used maps, timelines, asked questions, and put our own thoughts into what we’ve learned about the American Revolution.
2. Practice: I want to teach you that when researchers prepare to draft, they take stock of all the information they have and conduct quick research to tie up any loose ends. To do this, consider these self-evaluation questions:
• What questions do you have that have gone unanswered?
• What new questions have emerged?
• What sections have been neglected and need to be completed?
3. Application: Finalize your research so you can REdraft your American Revolution Report tomorrow
• Use our research resources.
• Grow your thinking by thinking about the information.
