Review
Here are the steps we're following for completing a single-source essay.

  • choose subject (we chose turtles)
  • ask questions (we did this in class)
  • skim source (you did this in class)

  • choose topics (we chose 3 in class)
  • take notes (you began this process in class but need to finish it before you write)
