November 27, 2012


Hey East House! This is Alex Ayala, and I will be your scribe for the week. 
  1. SSR
  2. Speech Component
  3. Mini-Lesson Intros
Today, we read SSR as usual. After that, we received our Model Assembly Timed Writings (A#41) and we were introduced to the Speech Component (A#42). To help understand this component, we looked at our editorial picks and looked at their intro sentences. We ourselves tried to make intro sentences to our bills in the Mini-Lesson Intros (A#43). If an intro statement is to be successful, it should have:


  • Shocking and surprising statements
  • An anecdote (something to make it relatable)
  • Something the audience can relate to
  • Quotes (choose wisely and make sure the connection is there)
  • and Questions
Our homework is to write an intro sentence to your bill and to continue looking at the OpEd. Also, Mrs. Ortega forgot to check the notebooks, so she will check next rotation!
