Welcome Back!!

I would like to take this opportunity to officially WELCOME you to the 2014-15 school year!  I am very excited to start our journey through the world of writing!

All good writers know that any piece needs to have a strong end.  The "wrap it up" sentence strategies will leave the reader with a feeling the writer has completed the paper. 

The transition phrases listed here are used in the "middle" of the research paper.  The first MIDDLE paragraph would be considered the beginning and the last MIDDLE paragraph would be considered the end. 

Research writing also needs to have an "interesting" beginning.  The leads listed here can get the students off to a great start!

The research plan resembles the expository plan.  You will notice the middle is expanding!!! :)
