2. What did you learn about the composition of body paragraphs that you didn’t know before?
3. What did you learn about the composition of introductions and conclusions that helped you better understand how to draft an essay?
4. Which specific pieces of advice do you think are the most important to carry with you throughout this semester? Why?
5. If you knew all of this, talk about the advice that you think is the most important to remember and why.
