Week 9 IEW

Students are welcome to read their papers

We are continuing to work on our Summarizing skills with the addition of Introductory Sentences and  Final Clinchers. We will be working on a 2 or more paragraph essay this week. Each paragraph will have it's own topic/clincher sentences, but we will be adding an introductory sentence for the whole paper and a final clincher after the last paragraph clincher, that will wrap up the whole paper.  This is one reason for more than one paragraph in our assignment this week. If we have only one paragraph, we wouldn't need an introductory sentence or final clincher. It would be redundant.

A source has been provided for us: Lessons 15 & 16 of our USHBW Lessons book (for younger students) and Lesson 17 (for older students), or as always choose your own topic.

Today we will read through the source text in Lesson 17. This is a very long source but that is for a reason. There is no way that we can include all this information, so we need to practice making decisions about what we want our paper to be about.
Read text, then make a KWO and brainstorm our Introduction and Final Clincher Sentences.
