Brainstorm a list of possible reasons to study your language in the city you picked.
Add examples to support some of the reasons if you can.
Edit your list by crossing out less important reasons and choosing an order.
Make an outline to show the organization of your reasons and examples.
Write an essay with 4-6 paragraphs to convince me to study your language in that city.
Homework: finish your essay at home. If you email me before 1pm tomorrow I can print it out and bring it to class for you.

Read your partner’s writing.
- Identify the topic sentence (thesis statement).
- Identify the reasons and the examples your partner used.
	- Do the reasons make sense? Do they support the main idea?
	- Is it a good order for the reasons and examples?
- Identify transition signals. Are they used correctly?
- Can you find and correct other mistakes?
