The scripts and storyboards for the ads should be done for Tuesday so we can practice.
Wednesday we will film the ads.
Today we discussed the introductions. I covered handshakes and thesis statements. Here is an example:
Joseph Addison, an American writer, once mused,
“Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom
is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass.” The night my
dog got hit by a car, I wanted to hide in my room in cry. I wanted to run away from the pain. Instead, my dad told me to help him, and I am
glad he did. That night, my dying dog taught me some wisdom I would never
forget.
The yellow is the handshake or hook. You don't just jump right into what you will prove. You ease the reader in. I discussed using a question, a fact, and a quote as a handshake. Here is a link for 52 more types of hooks!
In section 1, we discussed how to include a summary in the beginning of the essay. I had suggested having a summary as its own paragraph. I showed examples where the summary was too detail or even distracting. We discussed solutions. One idea was to put just enough summary in the introduction. The other was to write a summary paragraph but only include the parts or the story that relate to what are being discussed in the thesis.
