Week of Monday, Oct. 12-Friday, Oct. 16

Retakers:

Here are your documents to begin the elaboration of your FSA Writing Component. You are also going to be reading some passages from which you must take out information to support your arguments (textual evidence).

Directions:

Download the file for the day of your tutoring. Save it to your flash drive or desktop. Open that file and activate the "Comments" on the right to complete the COMPRead strategies.


* Read the directions.

* Analyze the writing prompt.

* Read and synthesize the passages. Write down in your graphic organizer the information you can use to support your argument (textual evidence). Your textual evidence must be based on the information provided in the passages-do not make up facts or statistics that are not in the passages.

* Familiarize yourself with the grading rubric-to guide your writing.

* Type your essay in MS Word and save it in your flash drive. Don't forget to include evidence from the passages that support your arguments and position.
