3. Hook, Housekeeping & Homework Tuesday Have out your Introductory Paragraph. • Swap it with another student (ONLY if both of you wrote the complete paragraph!) • Read the two models below. • Compare your partner’s Introductory Paragraph to these two: • Does he/she have a hook? • Does he/she have a sentence or two of background information and/or narrow to a specific topic? • Does he/she end in a thesis statement? • Give your partner positive feedback and an idea to consider for improvement. PPT Examples 3 & 4: Introductory Paragraphs An adult work day is eight hours. The work day for a high school student, especially a serious student, often exceeds that by two or more hours. Why should a 14- to 17- year old have a heavier workload and work expectations than working adults? As a dedicated high school sophomore, I would argue that high school students at Make This Up High School are given far too much homework. Reading a book to a blind person, feeding a debilitated patient in a nursing home, and tutoring a child are all examples of community service projects. Such projects not only help others, they also help build feelings of self-worth and gratification in the volunteer. In fact, volunteering is an important part of life and growing up.
