WRITING A STRONG INTRODUCTION BRING YOUR 6 GAME!

Penalty! DON’T START YOUR PLAY WITH… HELLO, MY NAME IS … THESE ARE THE 1, 2, 3… THINGS I WANT TO TELL YOU AND EVEN JUST REPHRASING THE QUESTION… IT’S A SLOW START, AND WILL PUT YOUR AUDIENCE TO SNOOZEVILLE…

CALL YOUR play! MAKE A SMART CALL… GET CONTROL OF YOUR ESSAY WITH A STRONG HOOK AT THE BEGINNING TO CAPTIVATE YOUR AUDIENCE. AN ATTENTION GRABBER

Do you ever feel as if you’re chasing a fumbling football? A QUESTION Do you ever feel as if you’re chasing a fumbling football?

“A QUOTE” The great Coach Lombardi once quipped, “Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don’t do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

Short anecdote or dialogue The Gladiators trudged into the locker room after a tough first half of play with the Gators. The players wondered how they could have lost control of the game; the Gators were considered an easy win. They couldn’t believe that coming late to practice, not completing their drills, and not reviewing the playbook would obstruct their path to an undefeated season.

A startling statement or statistic Professional athletes who are multitalented in their career dedicate over 80 hours a week to practice their skills in order to win the game.

An analogy An athlete wouldn’t think about stepping onto the playing field without consistently being on time for practices, reading the playbook and having a winning attitude. In the same way, one should practice these good habits in order to be successful at work.

Now it’s your turn to run with the ball Teenagers are often influenced by celebrities. Think about a celebrity who positively affects teens. Write to explain how a celebrity can serve as a positive role model to teens.

SHARE YOUR HOOK WITH THE CLASS!!!! Teenagers are often influenced by celebrities. Think about a celebrity who positively affects teens. Write to explain how a celebrity can serve as a positive role model to teens.

BEGIN YOUR FORMATION! THESIS STATEMENT YOUR THESIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SENTENCE IN YOUR ESSAY… IT’S YOUR FOCUS POINT ON WHAT YOU ARE WRITING, SO WRITE YOUR REASONS CREATIVELY.

GET THAT ROOKIE MOVE OUTTA HERE! DO NOT WRITE… MY FIRST REASON, MY SECOND REASON… READ ON WHILE I EXPLAIN MY REASONS… ARE YOU INTERESTED IN READING MY REASONS? OR ANY OTHER JIVE TURKEY OPENINGS.

HERE ARE SOME GREAT FORMATIONS! In doing this, more learning will take place, students will have to show their individuality in other ways than clothing, and campus visitors and intruders will be more recognizable. In learning to love one another, people will be joyful, there will be an overwhelming sense of unity and, most importantly, peace will finally reign. Being on time, being effectively prepared, and having a positive winning attitude are great habits to develop in order to be successful in your career.

NOW YOU WRITE A THESIS STATEMENT! Teenagers are often influenced by celebrities. Think about a celebrity who positively affects teens. Write to explain how a celebrity can serve as a positive role model to teens.

SHARE YOUR THESIS STATEMENT! Teenagers are often influenced by celebrities. Think about a celebrity who positively affects teens. Write to explain how a celebrity can serve as a positive role model to teens.

NOW THAT WE KNOW THE GAME PLAN, LET’S LOOK AT THIS INTRO NOW THAT WE KNOW THE GAME PLAN, LET’S LOOK AT THIS INTRO! (This prompt was about good work habits!) My English teacher always remarks, “There’s no substitute for hard work.” Though students would never admit this to her, she is 100% correct! This philosophy also applies outside the classroom; it is vital in the workplace. An employee can not show up to work and catch up on her beauty rest; she actually has to work! While that may seem easy, it’s not that simple. To be a quality worker, one must be punctual, positive, and prepared. That is the formula for success!

WHERE IS THE HOOK? WHERE IS THE THESIS? My English teacher always remarks, “There’s no substitute for hard work.” Though students would never admit this to her, she is 100% correct! WHERE IS THE THESIS? To be a quality worker, one must be punctual, positive, and prepared. That is the formula for success!

THAT INTRO IS WELL ON ITS WAY TO SCORING A TOUCHDOWN!?

TIME TO PRACTICE! Create 3 hooks for the gender conformity discursive you’ve worked on with your classmates. Write a thesis statement, too. You will use these next class to create an introduction for your group essay.
