HW Read
the short story “Roses Sing on New Snow”
Review “Literary Terms”
I
emailed these to you a few minutes ago. Check your email.
segregation in the US- law, legal requirement
segregation in Canada – was not the law, unspoken law,
unwritten law, tradition,
in the US – racism is ‘in your face’, obvious, glaring, overt
in the Canada – hidden, less overt, subtle
Test#2- paragraph
Grabber
Topic sentence related to the question
3-4 points supporitng your TS
Concluding sentence
(150-200 words)
Stay within the parameters. If the teacher asks for a 150-200
word paragraph and you write a 400 word essay, that’s not what was required.
Choice of two questions:
1.
personal question – narrative- you were in a
situation, stand up for your rights
2.
Was Rosa and/or Viola right to protest?
Most chose 2.
Some chose both at the same time.
Grabber-
Topic sentence- connect to the question directly
e.g. Yes, Viola did the right thing when she sat in the White section of the movie theatre.
-many people had no topic sentence
*no TS, no paragraph, no focus
TS at the end – possible
My advice is to put the TS right at the top, after the
grabber
- summary of the story, not the question
-many were half copied summaries from the website
You write an answer. Give some ideas. Think.
Don’t just read a website and copy.
-using new vocabulary is fine
-copying whole sentences and phrases- plagiarism
You have to do your own writing.
- regurgitated text from the website I gave you last week
Viola was convicted without legal representation for an obscure tax
offence.
I won’t not give
points for that. That’s just copying.
plot summaries of the story
Was Viola and/or Rosa right to protest they way they did.
The evolution of human rights always comes with a price.
Viola Desmond was right to protest agianist the unfair rules in her town when
she decided to sit in the section of the movie theatre that was for White people
only.
1. she bought the ticket, she was allowed despite the
unwritten law
2. it was time to make a change in the racist society she
lived in
3. it is always right to point out injustice
Concluding sentence
Nothing copied, nothing plagiarized, no summary
Addressing the question directly.
If you want the big marks, then create your own writing and
focus on the question.

The intention of the sentence combining exercises is get as
much of the original vocab in as possible. There will be times when it is better
to change the word forms. If you’re stuck, you can leave words out, but that’s
not ideal.
These exercises can be quite challenging.
