6. Intro Paragraph Listeners Scavenger
Hunt
Goal put together a clear intro-paragraph with the three
essential elements.
1. Hook
2. Topic/Main Points
3. 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.
7. 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).
8. Example – 15 minutes to find the other
two pieces?
Rules
You must read your piece to anyone who asks?
You can read anyone else's piece
Ask 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 .
9. Correct Introduction Paragraphs
For 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.
10. Correct Intro-Paragraph
Against 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.
11. 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).
Restate what you are talking about in the first sentence.
When finsished:

19. Mini Lesson #1 - Tone
Tone - Tone is a particular way of expressing 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.“
It is not what the story makes you feel! It’s the way the
characters feel.
How do we know what the characters feel?

25. 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?"

35. 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
36. 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.
