Hello children. I am the scribe. Rene. Anyways, here’s what was up for today:
Game Plan:
-SSR
-Writing Workshop Bootcamp
-Mini-lesson (Introductions)
Basically we did the usual SSR, then Edwards gave an announcement ***You guys know that desk in the back? Well Edwards said that it needed to be cleared if it isn’t a book or a blanket, otherwise it goes in the trash by Friday. Oh yeah, Jordan she’s also going to need a bio 3 facts about you for poetry out loud.
Mini Lesson Notes (For the lazy people)(For those who weren’t there) *Your welcome*
How to write an essay intro and thesis
The intro: The introduction is designed to attract the readers attention and give an idea of the focus of the essay.
Parts of an intro:
1. Begin with interest grabber
2. If its only one or two sentences add one or two more sentences to lead to the thesis
3. Finish with the thesis statement.
*Types of attention Grabbers.
o Give startling info that’s true (FACT)
o Tell an anecdote (Short story) (Don’t get crazy/caught up with it)
o Dialogue/Quotations (Make sure you quote famous people)
o Ask a question or present a problem.
Yeah guys, that’s about it, NAW SAY’N? Scribe out!
