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

  • Do you focus more on the process or the product?  How would the learning design be affected if you switched your focus for the other?  For example, if you primarily focus on the process, how would the learning design change if you primarily focused on the product?
  • How do you assign grades to the process?  How do you assign grades to products?
