**PREWRITING- no sentences, just ideas and key words

 

1.Read the question carefully. Read every word. Read it five times. Make sure you understand what the teacher wants you to do.

“Was Viola Desmond or Rosa Parks right to protest the way she did?” 

was she right to protest- did she do the right thing, was she justified. was it the correct decision

 

PROBLEM: Many students just wrote a plot summary. Many students just retold the story.

-started with a bio of Rosa or Viola

-retold the story of what happened

 

Retell the story.

 

Focus on the the topic that was asked: Was is the right thing to do?

judgement

 

-write a summary of her life and story? Not what the question is.

-shows you understood the story, STEP1

-go deeper into the story, STEP2

What does the story the story? What are some deeper ideas in the story?

 

In E10, 11, 12, if you can only write a summary of the story, that won’t be enough.

You must write at a deeper level about the story following whatever the question from the teacher was.
