Feedback on the paragraph from Friday, Test#2
-grabbers- NO GRABBER
70% remembered to start with a grabber
Choose one:
1.anecdote
2.quotation
3. fact or statistic
4.history
5.question
6.idiom, saying
7.funnel
-ineffective grabbers
“Yesterday, I read a story about...”
“I will write about...” – don’t announce the topic in that way
-first person- be cautious “I”
“I think...”
“In my opinion...”
academic tone- avoid “I”, use third person instead
“After I read the story, I think that Rosa did the right thing.”
INEFFECTIVE
“The events of the story prove that Rosa did the right thing when
she chose to not give up her seat.” more
impersonal, third person
-clear Topic Sentence
use vocab from question or synonyms
“Was Viola Desmond or
Rosa Parks right to protest the way she did? Refer to the
story specifically.” Choose one or both.
TS- borrow some words, use synonyms
right- correct, justified,
protest- fight, argue,
have courage, confidence, strength, resilience
e.g. Viola Desmond was clearly in the right when she refused to
move seats in the theatre.
-clear, specific SS supporting sentences
“Viola was brave. She did a good job. It reminds me of my own
country...
Rosa Parks- bus, seat
Viola Desmond- movie theatre, ticket
10-minute break
Edit and correct the paragraphs.
OPTIONAL RW for a bonus point – hand it in to me today or first
thing tomorrow
