    FRIDAY:

    Assign: Introductory paragraph -- discussed in class. A few things that I went over in class:

     Thesis: High altitude climbers should always use bottled oxygen.

    • Start broadly / catch the reader’s attention: brainstorm

    Personal story – yours or someone else’s

    “Can’t catch my breath.”

    The thrill of accomplishment

    The need to conserve weight when climbing

    • Include some of what you researched, but in a broad sense (maybe some of the research that doesn’t fit into your paper):
    • Narrow to your thesis: dependent on which avenue you have taken to get here.
    • Finish introductory paragraph with your thesis statement.

    Use yesterday's cell phone article/essay as a model. Notice how it starts broadly and ends with the thesis (even though she really has two thesis statements). It is a "backwards" paragraph in that the one sentence you have already done is the last sentence of the paragraph, but you know that your paragraph needs to read as a flowing narrative from A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to E, where E is the thesis statement. So the difficulty is deciding what A, B, C, and D are, and how they must flow from one sentence to the next and end with E. 

    INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH DUE MONDAY.
