By the end of class, students will analyze text for transitional
phrases, create examples of text using transitions, be introduced to a
thematic essay, and use graphic organizers to construct an outline for
their essay.
DO NOW:
Extreme risk takers just can't stop themselves sometimes. How does that apply to the mom in The Leap, Rob Hall in Into thin Air and to a gambling addict?
DIRECT INSTRUCTION:
Review transitions in writing.
How can transitions be used?
GUIDED PRACTICE:
Complete transition word practice sheet.As a class, review answers and discuss any questions.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:
Hand out essay prompts and review guidelines and expectations.
Using essay graphic organizer and texts, plan out and organize your essay, which you will complete tomorrow during class. Remember, for each body paragraph, you must have at least one quote to back up your example. Use this time to find the quotes you will use and to solidify your essay. This will make the writing process tomorrow much easier!
