Learning strategy: Comparing and contrasting to recognize paragraph organization

a) Read the following texts and chose which one is better organized and is easier to understand.The Causes of Addiction

The Effects of Addictions

The Causes of Addiction

There are three major factors involved in developing addictions. First of all, genetics.It is believed that individuals from families with a history of any kind of addiction usually develop some other form of addiction. Second, environment, since children surrounded by addicts usually see substance abuse as acceptable. Finally, and maybe the most important factor, emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder increase the risk of addictive behaviors, because they sometimes become addict to escape the symptoms of their primary disorder.Adapted from http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Causes-Of-Addiction&id=920185

The Effects of Addictions

I have known some addicts. The behavioral changes associated with addiction cause the breakdown of many relationships. I studied with some addicts and their levels of motivation were lowered, so they left the school. Many addicts lose their job. Drug related addictions increase crime levels. Drug addicts can die as a result of accidents, overdose, and due to physical side-effects. And people who do not have this problem have to pay for the costs of healthcare, court costs and the benefits to some people who have been affected by addicts.Adapted from http://www.beatingaddictions.co.uk/thesocialeffectsaddiction.htmlIf you answered The Causes of Addiction, you are right!a) The paragraph about The Causes of Addiction is better organized because it has only one topic. Choose the topic.

Addictions can be inherited.

Dangerous environments can cause addictions. Reasons why people become addict

b) The paragraph about The Causes of Addiction has a topic sentence. The topic sentence gives you the main idea of the paragraph. Underline the topic sentence of in the text.

c) The paragraph about The Causes of Addiction use transition words and phrases, such as First of all to connect ideas in the text. Find the other two transition words in the text. Circle them.PREWRITING

WHAT IS BRAINSTORMING?When you brainstorm, you write as many words or phrases as you can think of about a topic. You dont have to write complete sentences when brainstorming.

Learning strategy: Brainstorming to generate ideas1. Whenever you brainstorm, think about whether you can break something down into smaller parts. Look at these brainstorming notes. Notice the smaller parts and subtopics. Add other ideas.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________TOPIC SENTENCE?A topic sentence is very useful for organizing a paragraph because it states what the entire text is about. A good topic sentence should be a general sentence that presents the topic clearly.1) Read each paragraph below. Mark the best topic sentence with a happy face.Learning strategy: Reading carefully to choose a suitable topic sentence

People who smoke marihuana usually have red eyes, talk loudly, laugh unapropiatellyand feel asleep. They lose interest and motivation in things they used to do in their daily lives too. You can also smell a sweet burnt essent in them.

When a pregnant woman uses cocaine, it enters the bloodstream of the developing fetus and has the potential to affect a baby's development.

2. Compare and discuss your answer with a partner.3. With your partner discuss why the other sentences are not good topic sentences. Mark each sentence with one of the following reasons:

G: It is too general.S: It contains too much specific information.C: It is a concluding statement.

W R I T I N GLearning strategy: Reading quickly to identify the topic and supporting sentences1.Read the paragraph below and follow the instructions.

MUSIC STARS AND DRUGS

I think there are three main reasons for famous singers to use drugs more frequently than other people. First, media put them on a pedestal, so they lose their humility and they think they can do whatever they want. Second, they have to work a lot and need extra energy. They have performances all over the world, so they have to travel and to perform their concerts almost every day; therefore, they look for drug substances that make them feel more energetic. Finally, they are surrounded by people who are used to getting and using drugs. Some of them think that as their colleagues use drugs, it is something they are supposed to do to fit. In sum, I consider that the media influence famous singers' demand for energy and their daily context can lead them to use drugs.a. What is the main idea of the paragraph? Underline it.

1. Drug addiction is common in famous singers.

2. Reasons why famous singers become addicts.

3. Famous singers have to face problems derived from drug consumption.b. Highlight the topic sentencec. Subtopics are part of the main topic. There are three subtopics in the paragraph below. Circle them. 2.Compare and discuss your answers with a partner. 3. Go back to the lyrics of the song "Salvation" and express your opinion about it. 4. Now write a paragraph about the " Reasons teenagers have to be free of drugs" .Start by doing a brainstorm.
