Digital Portfolio and Self-Assessment Essay

During Phase Three, you will practice locating and evaluating sources, composing introductions and conclusions, synthesizing sources, crafting strong thesis statements, and integrating and citing sources. You will compose our third major writing assignment, the Researched Essay.

Note: you should have access to all readings and all assignments every class (in print or on your laptop/phone). This is because we’ll likely refer back to previous assignments/readings.
