Focusing on Body Paragraphs

Yesterday you focued on writing your introduction and posting it to the blog..

A good introduction for a persuasive letter will include a few things: a brief statement about who you are (helps appeal to ethos), background knowledge on the subject, your claim (be sure to look at the lanaguage of persasion chart for this), and possibly a call to action.

 Today, after listening to speeches, you will create a new Google Document.

 Title the document: NamePLPeriod (MicheleMcConnellPL4). Share the document with me.

 Paste your introduction onto the document and begin working on your first body paragraph.

 Your body paragraph should have the following:
Subclaim
Example
Evidence (if you have used CiteLighter - this part will be easy!)
Explanation/Interpretation
Evidence
More Explanation

 Tomorrow you will write one more body paragraph and then focus on opposing viewpoints. Remember, use the Language of Persuasion document posted under the Persuasion Tab.
