Today in English class, we spent the majority of time exploring different ways to strengthen our introductory paragraphs for our research papers. We thought about a scenario where a new student would be entering our class. The task was to write down what we would say to that student in order to introduce them to the class. Some common answers included: teacher's name, technology based classroom, classroom procedures, etc.. Mr. Rivers then told us that we should introduce the audience to three things: Relevant context (info surrounding your essay), Relevant content (the evidence of your essay) and Relevant characters (the people/groups of your essay). After some more discussion, we spent the remaining time in class working on our best drafts of all time which are due Thursday at 11:59 P.M.
