Students,
Your task today is to type your pro/con paper modeled after the book "How I Became a Pirate" by Melinda Long.
You will be assessed on the organization trait of writing. That means I am looking for a strong lead and conclusion, transitions between ideas and paragraphs, a clear organizational structure (pro vs. con), and details that fit where they belong. If you're still not sure how to write any of these things, please ask for help.
Always remember the other things we've worked on in class, such as the ideas & content trait of writing, sentence structure (watch for fragments, run-ons and comma splices), punctuation, and subject verb agreement.
Visit the website for this lesson plan. Read the student directions and use the interactive buttons for help if you need it. Because this lesson was adapted from this website, you have the chance of getting published just like the jedi sample you read. This would be a good goal to shoot for.
