On Wednesday and Thursday, both the academic and CP students read expository and persuasive articles and compared and contrasted the two genres of writing. After reading, the students then wrote an outline for an introduction to an expository essay. The teacher facilitated the class in coming up with their own sample intro outline as a class.
