Lowell Rough Draft


Tomorrow the Rough Draft of your Lowell Essay is due.

When you are working on your Introductions and Conclusions be sure to use pages 11 and 12 of your Writing in History Packet. A good Introduction Paragraph should include the main ideas of your essay. For example, if you are writing to prove that going to Lowell had an overall positive impact on the Mill Girls, then you would include the positive claims that you are going to write about.

The formula for an Introduction Paragraph is an upside-down pyramid:

The Hook, General Information

More Specific Topics of the Paper, Claims

Thesis Statement

Look at your thinking map and your body paragraphs when you are writing your Introduction so that you are being consistent in your essay. Make sure your essay is typed and stapled together for tomorrow's class,
