- 9.3.1 guided practice – various scenarios
- Outline 9.3.1 for your own topic
- Decide if you will attend Thursday’s class – 0ptional final paper workshop day.
- Set expectations: Will you just use this time as a quiet and organized place to write with supervision and accountability? Or do you have specific questions to which you need responses?

- Yes: “At the end of my second paragraph, I’d like to make sure I cited my source correctly. Can you confirm that my in-line citation is accurate?”
