For Friday 9/28 and Monday 10/1

Homework:

A)     Read “Anxiety” (p 94-98)
B)     Complete writing activity #1 on page 88.
  • Title - be creative and have it connect to your topic
  • subject - this does not need to be a huge life-altering event - think small; think about family stories; think about memories (those that stick with you have importance)
  • Thesis - Helen Keller’s thesis was her first sentence and her intro paragraph was only 3 sentences long. Collier placed his thesis at the end and had it be a cumuluating thought.
  • Body Paragraphs - Show, don’t tell. Think about your diction and tone. Look at how you or the subject was before and after this particular day. What changes occurred?
  • Re-read the 3 essays and look to see how they structured them. They are all precise, clear and unified.
  • This is to be either handwritten or typed as it will be handed in.
