Assignment : Writing Plan
For 2-2 Assignment 1, Milestone 1, you created Writing Notes that helped you to consider how the following critical elements related to your persuasive essay topic:
· argument
· key points
· audience
· goal
· potential resources
· evidence
· feedback
· revision
Now it's time to revisit your Writing Notes and revise your responses to produce a complete, polished document that addresses all of the above elements.
By reconsidering your responses from your Writing Notes, you will construct a Writing Plan. This process will allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively persuading readers to agree with your argument. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
Constructing Your Writing Plan
Answer each of the questions below. Your responses for this Writing Plan should reflect the new ideas that may have come about as a result of your work in this module on evaluating sources and annotating those sources.
Each response should be one fully developed paragraph in length (5-8 sentences).
