We’re doing a fun in-class activity today. It’s about essay organization!

Things we learned while cutting paper bags and editing in crayon:

• The paragraph is “the basic unit of composition” (so says the author of Charlotte’s Web)
• Whether digital or analog, “tags” help us categorize and then organize work
• Categorizing is about “this thought”; organization connects it to “other thoughts”
• Without categorization organization of things you’re reading or writing gets very hard
• Paragraphs help us identify, focus, revise, or understand and engage with the thesis
