Thank You!
The central idea or message of the storyFor Example:Courage in the face of adversity.
Check for grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes.
Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, Participation, Success. "What should my conversation level be during this activity?" "How do I participate fully to ensure my success?"
What is the author’s purpose? What message is the author trying to convey? How does this connect to the real world?
Clearly state the main idea of the paragraph.
Explain how your evidence supports your main idea.
Ensure pronouns match the nouns they replace in number and gender.
While reading, underline key ideas, circle unfamiliar words, and write notes in the margins.
Tone: The author’s attitude toward the subject. Mood: The feeling the reader gets from the story.
Ensure every sentence has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
Share your final version.
Improve your writing by adding details, clarifying ideas, and reorganizing content.
Appeal to logic and reason.
Appeal to emotions.
Provide evidence, examples, or explanations to support your topic sentence.
Brainstorm ideas, make an outline, and organize your thoughts before writing.
A comparison using "like" or "as" For Example: Her smile was as bright as the sun.
The repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words For Example:She sells seashells by the seashore.
Write your first version without worrying too much about grammar. Focus on getting your ideas down.
Giving human qualities to non-human objectsFor Example:The wind whispered through the trees.
Restate the thesis in a new way. Summarize key points. End with a final thought or call to action.
Topic sentence, evidence, analysis, and transitions.
Look for how the text is organized (e.g., cause and effect, problem and solution, chronological order).
Use commas to separate items in a list, after introductory phrases, and before conjunctions in compound sentences.
Hook: Grab the reader’s attention. Background: Provide necessary context. Thesis Statement: Clearly state your argument or the main point.
Use clues from the text and your own knowledge to understand what the author isn’t explicitly stating.
Cooperation, Honor, Accountability, Respect, Grit, Excellence. "Am I showing cooperation by working well with my peers?" "Am I being accountable for my actions and work?"
After reading a passage, summarize the main idea in 1-2 sentences.
Appeal to credibility or ethics.
Make sure the subject and verb in a sentence agree in number (singular or plural).
Wrap up your paragraph by summarizing the main point or connecting it to the next idea.
A direct comparison without using "like" or "as" For Example:He was a shining star.
