--Continue progressing through your essay-writing process in whatever manner you see fit. The final version of your essay (your absolute best effort) is tentatively due at the beginning of class on Thursday, 4/21. See the list below for ideas of how to move forward:
- Finish outlining all of your body paragraphs if you have not already done so.
- Write multiple potential hooks for your essay if you have not already done so. Then, decide which hook works best. Finally, craft a bridge for your essay that logically links the hook you have selected to your thesis statement.
- Begin handwriting or typing your essay.
