Workshop+Jan+2011

=January 2011 - Pilot Workshop= =[|Theater Espresso]= This is the information about the play "The Nine Who Dared" at the John Quincy Adams Court House. I believe they will provide buses for BPS students and it is FREE!!!!

Here's an organizing document that I use to help students organize their essay. This helps students focus on their three main arguments (this can only happen after they've written a strong thesis statement). I feel that it helps to have students save the introduction and conclusion paragraphs at the end. Feel free to use!

Here are the thesis statements that we generated during the workshop. I took the liberty to categorize them and edit a few of them.

Here is a graphic organizer used to organize parts the of an essay. It is structured so that it resembles the actual layout of an essay.

Here is a resource from the AVID Write Path II Book. They call it commentary, but I think this could be adapted to help students include more analysis in their writing. The second pdf includes examples and a page about writing from a perspective.
