Essential question: How do introduction and conclusion paragraphs align with thesis statement in terms of hooking the audience and providing "food for thought" when closing one's argument?

 

Instructions: Finalize essay by completing the introduction and conclusion paragraphs. 

 

Activity:

 

  • Create an introduction paragraph that smoothly transitions into a strong thesis statement: hook, context of the problem, and thesis statement. Move from the general to the specific.

  • Create a conclusion paragraph that smoothly transitions into a "food for thought" moment: restate and reword thesis statement; significance, big picture, relevance, etc. of the argument, and closing statement. Move from the specific to the general.

 

 

Teacher reflection

  • How do you channel learners' needs, interests, and learning preferences to the curriculum?
  • How do you bring together learner goals and curriculum (course) goals?  How do you meet one without sacrificing the other?
  •
