Class Dec 3 & 4

LYRICS PRESENTATIONS

WRITING SKILLS: CRUCIBLE COMPARE/CONTRAST PAPER handouts (hand-drawn handouts that aren't linked here--get them from me).

• "Smartie" New Moon sample paper organization.
  
• "Smartie" Paper--your paper can be organized like a "Smartie" candy. The twists at the top and bottom represent the introduction and conclusion. The candy in the middle represents the "body" of the paper. The body of the Crucible paper is just two paragraphs in which you compare two things--the Crucible and whatever you've chosen to compare it to. For ideas, check blog post below.
• Hamburger paragraph--each body paragraph should be organized like a double cheeseburger. Start with a topic sentence (bun); add lettuce to introduce your first example/specific detail; the first burger is your first example/specific detail; follow with cheese which is commentary that explains your example to the reader; transition (middle bun) to next example; add lettuce, burger, cheese again ; finish with a bottom bun--concluding sentence. Use your colored pencils to color this hamburger.
  

HIGHLIGHTING ACTIVITY
Highlight sample paragraphs. On the back of this handout, practice finding the parts of a double cheeseburger paragraph by coloring sentences in the same colors you used to color the hamburger above.

PREWRITING
Use blank "Smartie" to outline how you'll write the body paragraphs in your own paper.

WRITING LAB
Write one of the body paragraphs for your Crucible paper, print, staple to the highlighted paragraphs, and turn in (10 points).
