Homework for 1-b Assigned on 10/19 and due on 10/24

Review your Personal Challenge essay notes and models. (See Writing Seeds section in your English binder.)

In class, we completed the graphic organizer where you recorded your thesis, three subtopics, and details to support each of the subtopics. If you did not finish this, you must do so before you can begin your introductory paragraph.

Tonight, review the introductory paragraph notes (See 1-b) in the Writing Seeds section of your notebook. Write an introductory paragraph that includes an attention-getting hook and a thesis statement that includes two things: the word, "challenge" and the specific challenge you will be focusing on in this essay. Add your closing sentence and you will have completed the first paragraph in your five-paragraph essay.
