Presentation Transcript

  1. Step Up To Writing

  2. Color-Coding • BLUE- Use blue as a lead in [grab readers attention]! This could be the first sentence of a paragraph assignment, or the first 1-3 sentences of your intro paragraph of an essay • MAKE IT INTERESTING

  3. Adding the Blues • Bold or startling statement • Humor [used appropriately] • Facts/background info • Quotation • Examples [tv/history/literature]

  4. GREEN- green is used for TOPIC SENTENCES • T.S. is first sentence of EVERY paragraph • States what that paragraph is about

  5. Topic sentence format • IVF [identify (TAT), verb, finish] • Occasion/Position • However • Number

  6. YELLOW- used for transitioning into your reasons • Every time you give a new reason to prove your topic, use a transition word • Examples: To begin, in addition, finally

  7. RED- for every reason you have, you must support it with EVIDENCE [details or facts] and EXAMPLES! • You MUST EXPLAIN and ELABORATE your thinking. TELL ME MORE! BE SPECIFIC!

  8. …and back to GREEN • Finish EVERY paragraph with a CONCLUSION SENTENCE to wrap up your thinking • Do NOT end on facts • Do NOT end abruptly and leave your reader hanging! • Essays have conclusion paragraphs

  9. Remember: • Organization is key!! • Follow the writing process • Use stars, dashes, and dots for outlines
