April 13, 2017 - Thursday

Class Work

1. At your table, share your graphic organizer. Explain what you hope to prove with your essay. What is your message?

2.For homework, you will be writing the draft. This of this as an essay in three parts.
A. Introduction - your goal is to capture the attention of the audience. As a class, let's brainstorm ways to accomplish that! http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/intros.htm

B. Body - you need at least three strong examples that prove your point. Include art, music, literature, news, personal examples, interviews, movies, strong quotations, etc. All of this amounts to powerful evidence. Today, you will interview two classmates and find out what they know about your topic. 
     - Create five strong questions.
     - Ask for the correct spelling of the name.
     -Ask permission to use their statements in your essay, if you decide that the information would enhance your writing.
     - Take notes. Post your notes in CANVAS.
C. Conclusion - What do you want the readers to know and to do once they have read your essay? What techniques can you use to make sure that this happens? http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/composition/endings.htm

In addition, you need to include in-text citations and a Works Cited page.
