« Today in L.A./ Homework Assignments. | Main | Class Notes for January 27 »
Today in class we started with a warm-up. The warm-up was, What is a thesis statement? After the warm-up we got out our notecards, bibliography cards, and our power outline. Mrs. Abrams will give you a grade on these. After we got these out, Mrs. Abrams had some students share what they had written. We then talked about the concluding paragraph. In this paragraph you will remind the reader about the overall point of the report, tell one last interesting fact about the topic, and answer the "so what" question. A good ending relates back to the beginning in the same way. Although the ending may repeat the idea stated in the thesis statement, it should also restate the main idea in a different way. That is what should be in the ending or concluding paragraph. After she finished explainging how it should look and sound we took the rest of the class time to begin writing it.
For homework tonight you need to finish your ending paragraph if you have not finished it already. You also need to read for thirty minutes and create an entry on your reading log.
My ending paragraph might sound something like this.
As you read you saw that there are many cause and effects of how eating disorders are started and what can happen from them. Some eating disorders can be deadly. So if you can try to stay away from stress and pressure so that you won't suffer from eating disorders like some people do. Also if you happen to see any of these symptoms or signs in family members or friends please tell someone so they can get help.
