Newton 40 Minute Write

HW: DUE FRIDAY- EIC Mammals, Journal 11, CNN Student News 1/5

If you did not finish yesterday's task check out yesterday's blog post.

If you finished yesterday you need to complete the following editing check list:

  • Capitalization, check your writing to make sure capitalized the beginning of each sentence, names of people and places, etc...
  • You have 4 paragraphs
  • Your intro has a grabber with background information, and does not talk about how Newton was a madman and a genius
  • Your intro has a thesis statement
  • Body paragraphs have a topic sentence, at least 3 pieces of evidence and a concluding sentence
  • You have a counter claim or concession (presented the opposite argument) double check for topic sentence, evidence, concluding sentence
  • Conclusion- restate your major points with a concluding sentence
  • ZINGER! Your writing piece needs to be written in the 3rd person
When you're completely done and you think its looks good, you may work on your station work.
