Intro Paragraph Listeners Scavenger Hunt

Goal put together a clear intro-paragraph with the three essential elements. 1. Hook2. Topic/Main Points3. Thesis Statement/Controlling Idea

Each student will receive one of the three parts of an introduction paragraph that is either (for or against) the argument that school should have a later start time.

Copy this down on a separate sheet of paper.

Scavenger Hunt (Hook, Topic, Thesis) Step One: Write down what pieces you need to

complete your intro paragraph.

Step Two: Decide whether the piece you have is (for or against ) later start times for students.

Step Three: Find the other two pieces from your classmates and write them down to create a intro –paragraph. The pieces you find from your peers must agree with the argument (for or against).

Example – 15 minutes to find the other two pieces?

RulesYou must read your piece to anyone who asks?You can read anyone else's pieceAsk them if they have 1 of the three pieces

you need?If they do, listen to their piece and decide if it

agrees with your piece?Then write down in the appropriate place on

your paper.Complete when you find all three pieces of an

intro-paragraph .

Correct Introduction ParagraphsFor later start times: Do you enjoy going to school at 7 in the morning? Are

you fully awake and think you can handle life’s many daily challenges to the fullest of your ability? I think not. -We at Fordham High School need more sleep. In order to fulfill this task, the school day would have to start at a later time. Everyone would benefit from these changes. Students would be less irritable in class, and they would also be more attentive to teachers little lectures, because their books will not be used as pillows. Many teenage high school students are tired during the school day, distracting them from their studies. This is one of the many good reasons why the starting time of school should be later in the day.

 

Correct Intro-ParagraphAgainst Later Start Times Isn’t nice finishing school at 3:00 and having your

whole afternoon ahead of you? The down side for starting school at a later time is the fact that we would be in school later in the day. We would not get out of school until 4:30 instead of 3:00. That would throw off everything, work schedules, athletic schedules, detentions; all sorts of things would be different. Starting school late and ending the day later would pose a problem to the bus company, day care centers, and the working parents of the students. So we should not change the start time of school, because it would in fact create huge problems at the end of the day.

Individual:Add a body paragraph that supports or opposes

your completed introduction paragraph? Use personal experience for evidence and support of your opinion (for or against).

feelings or attitudes that will influence how the reader feels about the characters, events, and outcomes. Speakers show tone more easily than writers because they can use voice tone, gesture, and facial expressions. A writer must use words alone.“

What do you believe the author is saying about the topic?

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day one fellow met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?". "Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test.". "Triple filter?". "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and...". "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?" . "No, on the contrary...". "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

Do I belong?Written By: shrith.Lost in a world so full of rights,

Nobody cares to see my plight.Born as a child filled with a want,

I am still the female gene nobody wants.Excluded from society

Here I stand loosing my dignity.What more could i ask for than a life,

But now I pray for my sacrifice.Day by day, I am a liability,

I stand now showing you my ability.I am the child you once rejected,

And now all I ask is for you to take me back

Wrongfully Convicted by Angelina Merrill Some people are wrongfully

convicted.Putting in Appeals, hoping the charges will be lifted.A prison cell, now their new home.Entrapped, inside razor barb fences.With no more freedom to roam.A lot of precious years, will be lost.At somebody else's cost.Taking everything day by day.The only thing left to do is hope and pray.Maybe some day, the real criminal will meet their fate.Wrongfully convicted, and having a lot of hate.Pushed through the system, so they can close the case.Not able to accept what has happened.Sooner or later, it will have to be faced.Innocent as hell, we shouldn't be here.Living a life of constant fear.Maybe, they'll realize they made a mistake.Hopefully some day, when I awake.I will hear I'm a free man.And a journey home, I'll take.
