Scribe Post on L.A. Friday the 2nd
During L.A. on Friday we talked about thesis and lead statements. A lead is an amazing or unusual fact, question, descriptive segment, bold opinion, quote, or statistic, and a thesis statement is when you briefly, but clearly, tell the reader what the piece of writing will be about. Also, we talked a little bit about detail generating questions to expand the paragraph, or to make the paragraph better detailed and interesting. Our homework was to write a closing paragraph from the old, boring paragraph, and sentence starters from the worksheet to make the closing more interesting and fun.
