Introductions and Thesis Statements

Over the past two days, we have been working on the introductory paragraph for our 5-paragraph essay. Yesterday, I went over the three different types of introductions: using a quote, telling a story, and asking a question. Students are writing all three as a way to practice them. Today, we focused on the thesis statement and plan. This is the idea of the paper and lays out everything the reader will read. The introduction is due tomorrow.
