OBJECTIVES:
- Disciplinary groups will continue to grow as a community of wonderers and project managers.
- Students will engage in academic research and writing.

DO NOW:
(1) Provide data for Sam L.'s project: School Safety - Intruder Scenario
STUDIO WRITING TIME
- Begin the drafting phase by considering your visual plan. Simply write your thesis statement at the top of your document (do not worry about creating an introduction at this point).
- Your thesis statement is the guiding map of your essay. It reminds you of the information, the argument you need to present to your audience.
- Set your intention for studio time. Possible choices for studio time:
- Finishing your PAST DUE annotated bibs
- Solidifying your thesis statement using the template from yesterday
- Creating your visual outline for your writing component.
REFLECTION: Share out your progress on your intention for today. Create a plan for tomorrow.
If there are questions about expectations, resources, or other aspects of the research paper, please communicate those through project advisors.
