A.C.T. - like Writing Outline in Reverse

The A.C.T. - like writing has been assessed. You've been given a score from 1-6, just like on an actual A.C.T. Now, go back and write an outline for Mr. Roark. Make corrections if you did not do it correctly the first time. Please consider is all your topic sentences relate back to your thesis and answer the WHY question. For example, if you said athletes should be held to a higher standard than non-athletes, 3 reasons would be ...1.) they represent the school and are a reflection of the Sparta community 2.) sports are a privilege and not a right, therefore athletes must be above reproach 3.) higher standards help create an environment where excellence is the expectation. Those would be 3 reasons to be covered in a properly prepared paper.

Follow the outline listed here:

Thesis Statement: What was yours?


Concluding Statement: What was it?


Point one: List your topic sentence:
a.
b.

Point two: List your topic sentence:
a.
b.


Point three: List your topic sentence:
a.
b.

Consult your paper for hints. I graded them all and made comments. Most of you need alignment/format requirements met for a 6. We will discuss/assess your outlines tomorrow.
