On Monday, Mr. Stone will supervising a senior class field trip. Students will submit a copy of the fourth and fifth body paragraphs of their research report to the substitute.
They will complete Vocabulary Energizers Chapter 8 in class. They need to submit their book to the substitute before leaving class.
For homework, students will write a rough draft of the introduction for their research report. As the peer critique sheet for the research report indicates, students should begin their introduction with three to five sentences of an opening strategy. If a student needs ideas for an opening strategy, they should consider the options listed on MIT's Resources for Writers'website. Mr. Stone recommends beginning with a quotation, beginning with an interesting fact or statistic, or beginning with a definition. If you choose to begin with a definition, please use a definition from specialized dictionary or an expert in the field under discussion. Do not begin by quoting Webster's Dictionary.
Following the introductory strategy, students should state their primary research question and then state their thesis in response. Including a preview as a separate sentence would be helpful.
