Thursday HW

READING:
Read Fiction for 30 Minutes, LOG, & jot your thinking throughout your entire book.


WRITING:

Finish adding transitions to your writing piece so that your reasons and evidence flows smoothly together.
Draft introductions using prompts to get you started:

• What people need to know is that...

• Many people don't know/think/realize, but I've come to know/think it's important...
• Sometimes in life...

• I have found...

• Sometimes people ask...Well, I have found...

One example:

        What parents need to know is that the schools their children attend and the teachers they have are nowhere near as important as the education that children receive at home. My mother has been my most important teacher. She has taught me to love reading, have confidence in myself, and regard my job as a hobby. I tell parents not to worry; what they do need to know is that they will be their child's most important teacher.

Second Example:
I used to think that the teacher a child had in school would make or break them. I would worry frantically if I had a teacher that wasn't superb, but I've come to realize that the teachers who matter most aren't always the official ones kids have in school. In my life, my mother has been my most important teacher. She taught me to love reading, have confidence in myself, and regard my job as a hobby.
