Today's Goal- Complete rough draft and start your final draft in a Word Document

You should have had plenty of time to work on your draft yesterday, finish up what is needed and start typing up your final.
Open office 365 and open a new word document
- Title your document- with your informational topic and first and last name.
  - for example- "Polar Bears-Jane Doe"
Make sure you are indenting all of your paragraphs. All sentences start with a capital.
Do you have good transitions for each of your paragraphs? See your packet for some suggestions.
Make sure you are using formal language- no person pronouns allowed!
Are you inserting any opinions in? If so, take them out- just facts!
