my Notes
Check Your Understanding
Return to the paragraph you wrote about Lincoln and Douglass as historical heroes. Mark your draft to indicate missing or ineffective transitions. Then, revise the organization by adding or substituting transitional words and phrases to create coherence. Next, find a significant quote in two of the texts you have read and add those ideas into your paragraph by smoothly embedding the quotes.
Reflection: What types of transitions did you add during your revision? Why? How do the direct quotations strengthen your ideas?
