about the article. Use the packet of FCAT stems and information to assist you with your
questions. Make sure the quesitons are clear about what they are asking, so if someone was

"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?

W6-FCAT Writes-Tips (copy below or from board)

Example Intro:

(Engage the reader)One day, as I laid in bed sick with the flu, my mother turned on a talk show I had never seen before. On the episode, they split their audience by eye color and treated the blue-eyed people poorly. The host of the show didn't really hate blue-eyed people, but she was trying to teach them a lesson about what discrimination felt like. After that episode, I watched her show religiously. (End with thesis: what you will write about or your stance on an issue and your reasons why or which you will discuss. Should be one to two sentences maximum). So, If I could spend the day with anyone in the world, it would be Oprah Winfrey, because she defines success by living it, she teaches valuable lessons and I would show her how much I appreciate her.

Support:

Bare: I like science because I enjoy it. (1,2)

Extended: I like science class because we do interesting experiments. (3)

Layered. In Biology class, we do fun experiments, such as dissecting frogs and measuring the properties of light. (4)

Elaborate:
It is always an enlightening experience when I step into Mr. Robinson's Biology Honors class. Although my classmates moan when they receive a textbook assignment, the sounds are quite different when he announces lab work. He always plans innovative and creative experiments. For example, once we dissected Leopard frogs delicately. Another time we used a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to measure the properties of light. In my opinion, the realistic lab experience in Mr. Robinson's class is extremely interesting and worthwhile. (5,6)

Work period:
