Drafting an Introduction for Book Review

Monday 13 November 2017 for Periods 1, 2, 5 & 6 and Tuesday 14 November 2017 for Period 7

Mr. Stone distributed the prewriting sheet for the introduction of their book review and went through it with the class. (Note:  This is an introduction to your book review that you began writing in first quarter.  It is NOT about the biography you are currently reading.)

Students should review the four body paragraph prewriting tables they have already prepared for this review.  They should pick out the three tables with strongest subtopics and set the fourth aside.  The subtopics from those three prewriting tables will become the three subtopics of the review's preview.  Place them in the order of least convincing to most convincing.  Typically, writers end with their strongest argument.

Look on the upper right-hand side of this website  under "Book Report" for a sample paper.

Students should remember that they are only writing the introduction for now.

Students completed ten minutes of Membean vocabulary drills during class time.

Homework:  Finish filling out the prewriting sheet for your book review introduction and type your introduction in a Google Doc.
