Applying Vocabulary
(page 111) • Have students read the introductory text
silently.
• Read the directions for Practice 6 aloud.
Have students complete Part A alone or
with a partner. Go over the answers with the
class, listing all the words on the board.
• Have students complete Part B for
homework. Remind them to apply the
information about thesis sentences from
pages 106–107. Have students share their
sentences with a partner or in a small
group. They should check each other’s
sentences to make sure they contain process
terms (step, process, etc.).
WRITING ASSIGNMENT
(pages 112–114) • Read the introduction containing the
assignment. You may wish to give students
the option of writing about a topic closely
related to their own fi elds of study. In that
case, have them submit their topics to you
before they start writing their essays. Make
sure the topics lend themselves to process
writing.
• Step 1: Read the instructions aloud and
have students read Omar’s freewriting.
Point out the features of the sample
(unedited, fi rst person, missing punctuation,
etc.) and emphasize that this is acceptable
in freewriting. Have students freewrite in
class for 10 or 15 minutes.
• Step 2: Read the instructions. Have
students do this step in class or at home.
Decide if you will check students’ outlines
before they go on to the next step.
• Step 3: Read the instructions aloud. You
may have students begin their drafts in
class and complete them at home. Allow
suffi cient time for students to complete
their drafts.
• Step 4: Read the instructions aloud and
have students work through the fi rst three
bulleted instructions alone. In class, go over
the Peer Review Worksheet on page 329.
Have students work with a partner to
evaluate each other’s writing. Be sure to
leave enough time for them to discuss their
evaluations with their partners.
• Step 5: Read the instructions aloud. Go
over the Writer’s Self-Check on page 330.
If necessary, review the correction symbols
in Appendix D on pages 309–311 of the
Student Book. Have students complete this
step in class or at home.
• Step 6: Read the instructions aloud. Have
students do this step in class or at home.
Collect the papers and use the Writing
Assignment Scoring Rubric on page 44 of
this Teacher’s Manual to evaluate them.
Decide if you will give a letter grade.
