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

 

 

Don’t just retell the story.

Use some of the events from the story as examples for your pionts.
