"Opening Up" asks students to color code sentences in their introductory paragraphs to correspond with topic sentences of the essay's body paragraphs. In class, students peer review each other's work, testing the coordination of the introduction to the topic sentences. Students thus discover how well their introductions act as road maps to their essays. 9 page pdfen-USlearning object
