 The qualities of a good body paragraphs  Drafting techniques  Punctuation Review

 Identify the qualities of good, well-developed body paragraphs  Identify drafting techniques  Create a draft of the body of your essay  Use correct punctuation in your writing

 Complete Reading Assignment  Participate in Discussion - 20 points.  Attend seminar or complete alternative seminar assignment - 5 points.  MyWritingLab  Take Quiz -10 points.  Complete the Project - 50 points.

 Punctuation Review  Read pp : Pathways: Writing Scenarios  Writing the Essay:  Read Chapter 13: Pathways: Writing Scenarios  The Key to Writing a Successful Draft:  Click on the link…

 For this week’s discussion, address the following questions in your response:  1. Based on the readings from this week, what is the purpose of a draft?  2. How are you approaching creating your draft?  3. Which drafting technique or techniques do you like most? Why  4. Which are you least likely to try?  How is the more formal nature of a draft different from the informal nature of pre-writing?

 Remember that the thesis statement sets the plan for the content of each body paragraph. Ask yourself the following: If our thesis statement is: Snowboarding is a great sport because it is fun, social, and athletic, what would each body paragraph be about? Hopefully you answered that the first body paragraph would be about why snowboarding is fun, the second would be about why it is social, and the third would describe why it is an athletic sport.

 Each body paragraph should include details, examples, statistics, quotations, and any other specific information. The old adage "Show, don’t tell" certainly applies here. It is important that you describe information in detail, with concrete backup from credible sources, rather than just "telling" about it.  Remember that if any information is taken from other sources, it must be credited as an outside source.

 How to Write a Perfect Five Paragraph Essay Published in Big Apple Parent Magazine  By Emily Levy

 Each paragraph will reflect one the sub- topics.  Each paragraph will stay on topic.  In our paper you will have: ◦ 1 paragraph on personal ◦ 1 paragraph on education ◦ 1 paragraph on professional

Angela Lavine’s personal background makes her a very welcome addition to the Kaplan family. A native of New Jersey, Angela has been married to her grade school sweetheart for 10 years. They have two lovely little girls, Madison and Briana. They recently added a puppy named, Coco, to their family. Dr. Lavine enjoys travel, reading, exercise and spending time with her family. She also enjoys her volunteer work work, where she donates time to read to children and participate in her daughter’s school activities. Since her children began elementary school, Dr. Lavine has more time to dedicate to her students at Kaplan.

 Dr. Lavine’s rich educational background compliments her personal endeavors. She earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from West Virginia University. She focused her studies in the field of Psychology. This made for a smooth transition into her Doctorate, with a stronger focus on Addictions Psychology, which she earned from Capella University. Dr. Lavine continues to pursue continuing education in both the fields of education and psychology, so she can bring the best teaching techniques to her students.

 It is apparent that Dr. Lavine’s strong personal and educational background make her a fine addition to our Student Success Department. However, it is really her professional experiences that that set her apart. Dr. Lavine began her career in patient care and education over fifteen years ago. She worked both hands-on with clients suffering from additions, and in administration. She found both incredibly rewarding and continues to work with clients on a case-by-case basis. After achieving her Doctorate, she realized that her true calling was in education. She is thrilled to join the Kaplan team and work with transitioning students into their professional studies.
