Descriptive Writing
NEW Transitional Topic Sentence
Note: I do not require a transitional phrase like Mr. Strock does. I do require that you have a topic sentence that either states your central idea for your paragraph (3/4) or a topic sentence that connects the central ideas of the previous paragraph and the current paragraph like we did in class (4/4). NEW Narrative Hook
I have changed the grading for this. A 4/4 means you have a hook and a bridge to your thesis. A 3/4 means you have a hook with no bridge. However, for you writers that want a challenge. Try to connect your hook to other paragraphs in your essay, but this is not required. |
