Today students will continue working on their Building a Case.. Boston Massacre Evidence Outline. By the end of class today their outline should be complete and ready for editing.

Once the outline is complete you should share it with a friend who is also done to edit and double check.  Pay attention to fonts, type size, placement of quotation marks and punctuation. Also make sure the sentences use strong, specific vocabulary and work to prove the thesis statement (topic sentence)



Once you have completed the outline please do the following:
  1. Make sure your entire outline is the same font and size
  1. Make sure your entire outline is the same color and not bold, italics, or underlined
  1. Make sure you start each sentence with a capital letter
  1. make sure each proper noun (Name & Location) are capital
  1. Make sure each sentence ends in a period
  1. Make sure the quotes have starting and ending quotation marks.  The period should come before the end quotation mark
Remember that specific writing is powerful writing... so make sure every word is the strongest, most specific word choice possible!!!When you are done reviewing your own work please swap with a peer to review!
