heimler

  • no conclusion required, no format

  • first paragraph, starts with 2-3 sentences of centextualition, then add thesis, thesis is roadmap

  • body paragraph, topic sentence, evidence, analize

  • evidence, document 4 says(brief description in own words), find a better introduction

  • analize, how evidence supports topic sentence(this shows/demonstrates), very important, full points for arguing

  • outsourcing, add evidence, specific historical, another piece of evidence related to this

  • complexity point is hardest, use seven docs
