Unit 6
In the last unit, we talked a lot about how to find good information from outside sources. Now we will focus on how to use that information in our writing. Formatting is only part of the lesson. It’s also important to think about how the information supports or proves or thesis. And, as always, we will continue to strengthen our academic vocabulary and grammar along the way.
