for Friday, October 19, 2012 (3-Panel Graphic) fi6

Dear Class,

It is time to ramp-up your papers by matching your topic and clincher sentences. 
• Topic sentences are the first sentences in your paragraphs and are also known as: General Facts
• Clincher sentences are the last sentences in each of your paragraphs.


In class we reviewed these things:
Format Rules ~~~>   
•  Be sure that your Dress-Ups are correctly bolded and underlined in the body of each paragraph. 
•  There should be five bolded underlined words in each paragraph!  Use your checklist to keep track of this.
•  Indicate only the required dress-ups. 
•  No graphics or pictures in your essays.
•  Use a proper header, footer, and title block. 

•  Use vocabulary words correctly and highlight properly for extra credit. 
•  Read the Essay Format Requirements if you have questions about any of the rules.
•  -10 points for formatting errors. The stakes are high so be sure to double check your essays.
Avoid all Banned Words ~~~>  Always remember to choose the most descriptive words to communicate your thoughts and opinions!   
Pictures as Inspiration ~~~> We will finish the mini essays, so hang onto your work. I hope you all had fun creating a KWO and essay from a picture.

Your assignment is to write a 3-paragraph essay using one of the 3-panel graphics in your TWSS binder (pgs 48 or 50 or 51). 
Be SURE to include your KWO. Use this format for EACH paragraph:

TOPIC SENTENCE or GENERAL FACT ___________________________________

1.
2.
3.
4.
You may, of course, have more than 4 sentences here AND in the body of each paragraph.
CLINCHER SENTENCE _________________________________

Your Key Word Outline and Checklist must be attached to your essay.
If you have questions about this assignment, please contact me.  The Fix It for this week is below. 

FIX IT: Week 6

The 3^rd sisters turn followed, the boldest of them all, she brazenly swam up a broad river that emptied itself into the sea on the banks she saw hills covered with beautiful vines while castles peeped out from amid the proud trees of the forest.

In a narrow creek, she found a whole troop of human children cavorting in the water, she wanted to play with them but they fled in great fright. Then a little black animal jumped into the water, and barked at her so terribly she became frightened

More timorous the forth sister remained in the sea; she reported that the sky above looked like a bell of glass the dolphins sported in the waves and the grate whales spouted water from its nostrils till it seemed like a hundred fountains were gushing.

Since the 5^th sisters birthday occurred in the winter she saw what the others had not seen the first time they went up, immense icebergs were floating about, each like a pearl she said but larger and loftier than the churches built by men.
