1) Went over how to write a "proper" introduction paragraph
2) Shared our writing with each other to get "constructive criticism" from our peers.
Use this format for writing a "proper" introduction paragraph:
- Sentence #1: TOPIC SENTENCE (Example for French Revolution essay - Why do people revolt?)
- Sentence #2: SUPPORT YOUR TOPIC SENTENCE (Example for French Revolution essay - Nations around the world have revolted as a way to gain their freedom.)
- Sentence #3: LEAD-IN TO YOUR MAIN TOPIC (In this case, the French Revolution, specifically - An example of a successful revolution is the French Revolution... blah blah blah...)
- Sentence #4: LEAD-IN TO YOUR MAIN TOPIC (In this case, the French Revolution, specifically - Say something else about the French Revolution here...)
- Sentence #5: THESIS STATEMENT (Something like this - Tired of their suffering, the people of France chose to revolt against their government. After a successful, but bloody, revolution, France experienced many changes to its government and society.)
