"Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own." -Chinese proverb
w6-add conclusion to your notes
Example conclusion:
(restate thesis-different words than intro)In conclusion, it would be a dream come true to spend the day with Ms. Winfrey because she is successful, and I could show her how much she means to me. I won't ever forget the first episode I watched of her show, and I will never forget how much she has inspired me. Perhaps, one day, I will get to meet her. (At end, relate conclusion back to how you hooked the reader and end with a general statement)
Teacher teaches conclusion. Class asked to identify the parts.
Review of introduction: engage the reader and thesis and support
Turn in W5 rewrite/stapled to old one. Due today. Add on a conclusion to your rewritten introduction and support. If you never turned in the first version, turn that in today, so I can get it back to you for the rewrite. Both grades will be on your report card.
Conferences with teacher: Bring your writing section and data collection sheet. You will discuss: where you were in reading and writing at the beginning of the year. Where you are now. What writing tips do you need to start working on (w3)? W5/W6 - Questioned about expository essay parts, such as why you didn't engage the reader?
Exit slip: Copy the questions below and answer them after you writing conference; turn in on the day you have your conference with me
Essential Questions to answer: What do I need to do to improve my writing? What level was on on FCAT writes? What level am I at now? What are my strong and weak areas in FCAT reading?
