First: Please do self-check of your intro:
1. You have a hook (an exciting opening statement that introduces the topic of your paper WITHOUT mentioning the story)
2. You introduce the story and provide the necessary context for your thesis. Ask yourself: Do these details help lead up to my thesis?
3. You include a thesis with a main opinion and TWO reasons to support.
Body paragraphs: These will focus on your reasons. Body paragraph #1 will include reason #1, Body paragraph #2 will be on reason #2. Makes sense, right?
Inserting Counter Claims Activity.
1. Share your first topic sentence (your first reason)
2. Have someone take the opposite opinion.
3. Jot it down as a possible counter claim.
4. Find another person to disagree with you.
HW: Please write at least ONE body paragraph. It would be wise to write both.
