Today, we did an exercise where we first brainstormed "factoids" associated with the Paris Peace and the League and then started to categorize them into "must-knows," "should-knows," and "could-knows." When we write, we recognize that the "must-knows" are the types of facts that help generate strong theses, and are often fodder for our paragraph topic sentences. On the other hand, the"should-knows" are often given as support. Generally, we leave out the "could-knows" in the shorter types of writing we do in this course, because otherwise we won't have room for the other more important bits.
Tomorrow, we'll review the worksheets (#8-10) and work on #12. We are getting ready to study the Russian Rev - yippee. You may wish to start your reading - this is a tough topic for many students, so extra research is an asset.
