By the end of class today, each student will have generated their topic sentences for all of their body paragraphs.

Agenda:
1) Skillbuilder: generating sophisticated topic sentences (looking at conclusive and qualifying examples)
2) Concessive word list and the point of concession
3) Work time to develop and refine topic sentences

HW: Finish writing topic sentences. If you are behind, get caught up over the weekend. By the time I see you on Monday or Tuesday, you should -- at the very least -- have found all of your evidence and written your topic sentences.
