WED. LECTURE NOTES.

5 paragraphs:
1. introduction
2. 1st body paragraph
3. 2nd body paragraph
4. 3rd body paragraph
5. conclusion

body paragraph:
-topic sentence (tells what the body paragraph is about)
-detail (fact)
-analysis (opinion)
-detail (fact)2
-analysis (opinion)2
-conclusion sentence

Ex:
-topic sentence: The lion is already brave
-reason 1 (fact): Lion roars
-opinion: shows his bravery by scaring enemies
- ""
- ""
-conclusion: restate the topic sentence differently.


Example body paragraph:


In "The Wizard of Oz," the lion in the story thinks himself a coward but he is actually brave. When Dorthy was going to destroy the Wicked Witch of the West, the lion decided to help Dorthy by joining her so she can get a better chance of killing the Witch. This shows that his he is willing to face his greatest fear so Dorthy can be protected. Also, the lion helps Dorthy, the Tin man, and the Scarecrow to cross over the pit by jumping over the pit with one of them on his back. Even though he was afraid that he might fall into the pit, he was brave enough to help his friends so they can all visit the Emerald City. Although the lion wants to obtain courage from Oz, he already had his bravery by scaring enemies and helping his friends.


Example paragraph #2

I always try to keep my fabulous 2010 calender organized. Everyday, I cross out yesterday's date on the calender with an assortment of colorful, permanent sharpies. This is so I can find out which day of the week and which date that day is. Not only do I cross out dates, but I also write down special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. This is because I have a major habit of forgetting many things. So when I look at the occasion on my calender, this helps me to prepare for that day beforehand. My calender is the most up-to-date and the most specifically dated in my whole house!
