Assignment

Once you have completed your Paragraph Roadmap (outline), you are ready to build your paragraph. Turn all of your points in the roadmap into complete sentences, add transitions to make your sentences flow nicely, and type your paragraph using the proper format. Remember to indent the first line of the paragraph!

Turn in your typed, properly formatted paragraph either to your school class site (Moodle or Blackboard) or during class if you are taking a face to face class.
