Today in class we went to the library to do research/write for the famous person project.  Remember:  write in “je” form, answer questions in detail on pg1 of project description, 1.5 spaced, cite your sources in MLA format (see previous post), and do not use online translators or try to translate from English word for word!!  Consider using “transition word” handout (on back of” renewing acquaintances” handout) to start sentences/paragraphs. 

Example of paragraph organization:

P1:  Intro/overview: basic highlights of your person.  Think of it as a teaser for what’s to come!

P2:  Family/young life

P3:  Education/coming of age (into adulthood)

P4:  Development of contributions/things accomplished

P5:  Why he/she is important historically and today.  Tie up your essay.

Devoirs:  At least ½ page of writing for lundi, 1 page for mardi/mercredi (Rough Draft form for peer edit!!!), 2 pages for jeudi/vendredi
