Review your Personal Challenge essay notes and models. (See Writing Seeds section in your English binder.) THIS ASSIGNMENT IS YOUR CULMINATING PROJECT. IT WILL SERVE AS YOUR FIRST-QUARTER FINAL EXAM.
THESE PIECES OF THE ESSAY SHOULD ALREADY BE COMPLETED:
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.
YOU SHOULD HAVE ALSO COMPLETED YOUR INTRO PARAGRAPH. IF NOT, THIS IS FOR YOU.
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 the three subtopics that will prove your thesis. Write a your closing sentence that makes your reader want to keep reading,and you will have completed the first paragraph in your five-paragraph essay.
THIS WEEKEND, Use each of the three subtopic ideas listed on your planning page, and in your introductory paragraph and construct three well-developed body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should have three supports (examples/details)and each one of these should be elaborated.
When you return to class, you should have completed the planning page (graphic organizer), the introductory paragraph, and three body paragraphs. We will discuss requirements for the closing paragraph when you return to class. Have a nice weekend!
