Wednesday, December 12th

Today we discussed strategies for introductions or hooks in our writing:
a) begin with an example
b) start with a "quote"
c) provide an interesting, related anecdote
d) kick off with a question
...introductions should be "attention grabbers" that get your reader interested in what you'll be saying in your piece!

>Learner to do List for Friday, Dec. 14th
1. Finish reading "The Pigman"
2. You should have a minimum of 6 pieces of evidence (quotes)
3. We'll be working on thesis statements and strategies for outlining an essay.
