22. What is a Topic Sentence? A topic sentence is often the first sentence in a paragraph. It tells the MAIN IDEA of the paragraph. It also tells what the author wants to SAY ABOUT the topic.

23. Definition A topic sentence tells the main idea of the paragraph as well as what the author wants to say about the topic.

24. Example The theme of guilt is developed in The Kite Runner through the symbol of the blood on the snow after Hassan is raped by Assef. Amir hid behind a wall in the alley instead of jumping out to defend Hassan. After the rape, Amir comes out and pretends like he has been looking for Hassan the whole time. Both boys pretend like nothing happened. Amir also pretends to not see "the dark stain in the seat of his pants " (Hosseini 78). However, the "tiny drops that fell from between his legs and stained the snow black" (Hosseini 78) will forever remind Amir of his cowardly actions. The color red of the blood on the white snow represents the violent act committed against the innocent Hassan. The blood symbolizes the guilt Amir will carry with him because he did not act to help his so-called best friend.

27. Homework Unusual Subject Verb Agreement Handout. Recitation of Sentence Formulas.

28. Wednesday December 10, 2014 SSR! During SSR I will call each of you to recite the formulas.

29. Objectives SWBAT explain how their evidences support their claim. SWBAT embed conclusion sentences in each body paragraphs.

30. Recap… What is the formula for a well written paragraph?

31. Conclusion Sentences Re-tells the main idea. Summarizes the paragraph. “Wraps-it-all-up”.

32. Conclusion Sentence A conclusion sentence is a “Big so what” It says this is “What I just told you” and this is why it is important. A even better conclusion sentence gives you the “Big so What,” but also tells transitions to the next paragraph

33. Example The theme of guilt is developed in The Kite Runner through the symbol of the blood on the snow after Hassan is raped by Assef. Amir hid behind a wall in the alley instead of jumping out to defend Hassan. After the rape, Amir comes out and pretends like he has been looking for Hassan the whole time. Both boys pretend like nothing happened. Amir also pretends to not see "the dark stain in the seat of his pants " (Hosseini 78). However, the "tiny drops that fell from between his legs and stained the snow black" (Hosseini 78) will forever remind Amir of his cowardly actions. The color red of the blood on the white snow represents the violent act committed against the innocent Hassan. The blood symbolizes the guilt Amir will carry with him because he did not act to help his so-called best friend.

34. Explaining Evidence Why is it important to explain evidence?

35. Evidence Paragraphs with Embedded Evidence Check-list: ______ At least 3 paragraphs. ______ Introduce the supporting evidence. ______ Smoothly incorporate the supporting evidence. ______ Explain how the evidence connects to the thesis statement. ______ Accurate MLA-style parenthetical citations.

36. Evidence When you choose evidence, you are looking for evidence that is either: Ripe for analysis (lots you can explain about support for your thesis) Said better by the author than you can say it! DON'T pick evidence that is 'summarizing' – evidence that only require summary of what is happening in the text at this point.

37. Example The theme of guilt is developed in The Kite Runner through the symbol of the blood on the snow after Hassan is raped by Assef. Amir hid behind a wall in the alley instead of jumping out to defend Hassan. After the rape, Amir comes out and pretends like he has been looking for Hassan the whole time. Both boys pretend like nothing happened. Amir also pretends to not see "the dark stain in the seat of his pants " (Hosseini 78). However, the "tiny drops that fell from between his legs and stained the snow black" (Hosseini 78) will forever remind Amir of his cowardly actions. The color red of the blood on the white snow represents the violent act committed against the innocent Hassan. The blood symbolizes the guilt Amir will carry with him because he did not act to help his so-called best friend. Recap: Given everything we have learned about the structure of a body paragraph, identify each part of the paragraph.

40. Thursday December 11, 2014 Review Homework

41. Objective SWBAT identify the basic purpose or role of a specified phrase or sentence.

42. Purpose of Sentences Each sentence that an author writes serves a specific purpose. As writers, it’s important to determine the purpose of each word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph. Examples: main idea, supporting detail, introduction, conclusion

43. Toulmin Example—What’s the purpose of each sentence? Different elements of the media display what is considered appropriate male behavior. To clarify, TV shows feature male characters acting according to gender stereotypes. For instance, according to Children Now, “almost three fourths of children aged 10-17 describe males on television as violent. More than two thirds describe them as angry.” If children view males on TV as violent and angry, then this suggests that the media portrays a stereotypical role. This is important because if the media has such a great impact on viewers’ perceptions, then it defines gender appropriate behavior for society.

44. The Staple Laila had ordered the Italian chopped salad without the grilled chicken, but when her molars collided with a small forked object, she illogically assumed, for just an instant, that it was a chicken bone. At almost the same time, however, she knew that no bone was that hard and cold, nor any wishbone quite that small. And indeed, when she reached cautiously into her mouth, the object she withdrew was a thick, two-inch-long staple. She showed it to Chase, whose jaw fell open. “You could have swallowed that!” he cried. “Those points could have perforated your intestine or something.” She shrugged and dropped the staple back onto the half-cleared plate of salad, where whatever cold and distant sound it might have made was lost in the happy hubbub of the café. “Oh, don’t get all dramatic—I knew right away it was something artificial” but even as she said this, she knew that if she’d been eating more rapidly, she could indeed have swallowed it.

45. Question Stem
