  2. WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Today we will do the following: • Short story quiz! • Go for a walk… • Ray Bradbury video and discuss • KWL for “The Pedestrian” Hint: Mall + Walkers =???

  3. Short story quiz… When you finish your quiz, please turn it in on the table and sit quietly. Make sure your name is on the quiz!

  4. Organization Question: How many paragraphs should be in an essay? Why? Answer: Most of you would say 5…but, this isn’t always true. Younger, struggling students should stick to 5 paragraphs as a guide. However, as we progress, you should let the content (subject) guide your essay.

  5. Thesis Statements Question: True or False A thesis statement should include the THREE main ideas of the paper. Answer (short): True and False The “three-point” essay is just like the 5 paragraph essay. Younger, struggling writers should use it as a guide, but more advanced thesis statements will be used in this class.

  6. Introduction Paragraphs Question: Try to explain how an introduction paragraph should be formatted. Answer: Tough question. It should be formatted like a funnel: Attention Getter (General) Main Ideas (Specific) Thesis (Focused)

  7. Paragraphs Question: How many sentences should be included in a paragraph? Why? Answer: Many of you probably said 3. Well, some paragraphs are more effective with one sentence. However, if you need to elaborate more, the paragraph might be 9 sentences.

  8. Topic Sentences Question: What should be included in a topic sentence? What’s the purpose of a topic sentence? Answer: Ahhh, one of Mr. K’s pet peeves. You should include a transition in your topic sentence. Also, the purpose of this sentence is to relate the subject BACK (link) to your thesis. So, the sentence should somehow relate to your thesis.

  9. Conclusions Question: True or False A concluding paragraph should almost be identical to your introduction? Answer: Noooooooooo, False! Conclusions should be fresh and exciting. Leave the reader with someone to remember. They can REMIND the reader of the introduction, but not repeat!!!

  10. What did we learn???

  11. Let’s take a walk… • Each of you will start with 3 pieces of candy. • For every time I ask/tell you to be quiet, you lose a piece of candy. • Try to remember the things you think about and what happens as we walk around the school.

  12. So…. • What did you think about while going for a walk? • Why do people go on “walks?” • What are the possible benefits of “going for a walk?” • Do you think there will be a time when people stop “going for a walk?”

  13. Ray Bradbury’s take on writing and life… Ray Bradbury Now, take a out a clean sheet of paper, create a KWL chart on that paper. You will turn these in at the end of class!!!

  14. “The Pedestrian” KWL What do you KNOW? What do you WANT to know?

  15. HOMEWORK! No HW First introduction is on MONDAY!!! Ryan, be ready!
