THIS I BELIEVE
Graffiti Wall: Write your belief statement
"DRAPES: How Do I Support My Belief?"
- D--Dialogue: Quoted material; something memorable that someone said. ("If you can't say something good, don't say anything at all," my mother warned me throughout my childhood.)
- R--Rhetorical Questions: A rhetorical question is a thought question not meant to be answered. ("When you are eighty years old, what will you regret that you didn't do?")
- A--Anecdote: An anecdote is a short entertaining account of some happening that's usually personal or biographical. (One day my friend decided to sluff school. When he got home, his dad hadn't gone to work that day, and my friend got in trouble. My friend learned that it's better to go to school.)
- P--Personal Experience: An experience that happened to you or that you've observed. (My family was on a road trip, and our tire popped. We didn't have a jack or any way to fix the tire, and a police officer stopped and helped us.)
- E--Example: An example isn't necessarily related to yourself; an example is just something to show the nature or character of the rest. (I learned from Charlie Brown that it's okay to be afraid...just don't let your fears control you. Charlie Brown often sat in bed and spoke of his fears, but no matter how scared he was, he always did the things he wanted to do.)
- S--Statistic: A numerical fact. (I learned that 47% of dogs in the United States sleep in a family member's bed.)
