HOW TO ANSWER FOCUS QUESTIONS.....
Students, you can find the Focus Questions on Study Sync under the READ tab. They are at the very top of the page. Read the question, then look in the text for the answer. Once you find textual evidence, highlight that sentence in green and type the answer into that note. Then save the note. See my example. As always, email me questions...
Paragraph Writing Instruction
Dear Students,
Many of you are asking for a refresher of our paragraph format. I attached the PowerPoint that Ms. Schofield & I taught at the beginning of the year.
Basically every paragraph has certain elements & you can repeat the pattern even though the prompts are different. This can work for Study Sync paragraphs AND the 8th-grade research paper.
Each sentence has a job.
TS- topic sentence (respond to the prompt “In Rikki Tikki Tavi.....”)
TLQ- transition / lead in to quote (At the beginning of the story, Rikki is curious”)
CD- concrete detail (the quote)
CM#1-commentary/ analysis (explain the meaning of quote in your own words)
CM#2- commentary/ analysis (“so what? Explain how this quote proves your topic sentence claim)
TLQ- transition / lead in to quote (Later, Rikki becomes courageous because...)
CD concrete detail (the quote)
CM#1 -commentary/ analysis (explain the meaning of quote in your own words)
CM#2- commentary/ analysis (“so what? Explain how this quote proves your topic sentence claim)
CS- concluding sentence
