How does awareness of purpose direct all effective communication?
Objective: Students will be able to write introductions that provide background information, hook interest, and provide a focused plan or the paper.
1. Word of the Day #8: impute
2. Language Lab #5
3. We learned about the three points of "communication triangles": speaker, audience, purpose.
4. Writer's Notebook #9: We made a communication triangle for 1) Fahrenheit 451 and then 2) for a video clip of a speech by Ray Bradbury. Before making the second communication triangle, we took notes on main ideas and important points in the video.
5. We reviewed our character analysis paper assignment.
6. We used several short role plays as an object lesson to learn the to learn the principles of good introductions and conclusions. Strong introductions have the following traits: 1) they hook the reader's interest; 2) they provide relevant background information; 3) they forecast a plan for the paper. Strong conclusions have the following traits: 1) they provide closure to the paper; 2) they recap the important points of the paper with emphasis; 3) they provide a "take-away message" about the implications of the paper.
