First Paragraph
Theresa, a high school sophomore, sits at one of the dozen or so computers in the common computer lab of her school. There is a sporadic clicking of keys as the three other students in the room, none of whom Theresa knows, work at computers. Theresa sighs; she is nowhere near having a draft for tomorrow’s peer review session. She does have a couple of paragraphs and a page of brainstormed words and phrases, but she wants something that at least resembles an essay—title, thesis sentence, five or so paragraphs, double-spacing, one inch margins—by tomorrow morning so her teacher will give her credit for it
