Writing a Funnel-Shaped Introduction

Mr. Stone distributed a handout on writing a funnel-shaped introduction and read it through with the class, answering any questions the students raised. Students then worked on completing the introduction prewriting table.

Information from the film needed to complete this table includes:

Director: Norman McLeod

Title of Film: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Production Date: 1947

Film Genre: Classic Comedy

Screenplay Source: James Thurber's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"



Students should consult the cast list handout for the names of actors starring in the film. Students should list between three to five of the major characters from the film.

Students had time to work on their prewriting tables.

Homework: Students should finish for their first period of next week the four body paragraph prewriting tables and the introduction prewriting table.
