Strengthening Writing Write Score Rewrite

Learning Standard and Scale As we move through today’s lesson, we will check off the boxes of tasks we have accomplished. Is there anything we can check off already? Don’t worry if we don’t get to everything today. We will continue this lesson next week.

Student-driven Writing The main ideas of your body paragraphs should come from you, not the texts they provide to you. Within each paragraph you should use evidence from multiple texts to support YOUR ideas. There should be an obvious progression of your ideas

Body Paragraphs Today we are going to work on refining our body paragraphs. Next week, as we continue the rewriting process I will provide you with tasks on how to improve your introduction and conclusion.

Terminology and Color Coding Thesis/Claims Reasons Evidence Elaboration Transitions

Thesis/Claims The specific ideas or messages you want to convey, build upon, and illustrate in your writing. You should find your thesis in your introduction. It should appear as the following: The topic + the point = thesis statement/main idea

Reasons Your reasons you address in your essay should be diverse and should come from YOU. Reading the prompt first and then the texts is beneficial because it will allow you to think of reasons independent from what the text is telling you.

Evidence Supports your reasons in each body paragraph Comes from the texts provided to you Should be quoted or paraphrased and should have proper attribution Each paragraph should have evidence from multiple texts and should be relevant to your reasons

Elaboration Explains your reasoning and the evidence used in each body paragraph in your own words Adds vivid detail for the reader Elaboration should be varied (multiple techniques used) refer to the elaboration toolbox for ideas

Transitions Phrases or words that connect one idea to the next Help the flow of the paragraph Should be both internal and external Refer to the transitional toolbox for ideas

Terminology and Color Coding Thesis/Claims Reasons Evidence Elaboration Transitions

Peer Edit Leave comments about the thesis/claim, the reasons they provided, the evidence they used to support, the strength of their elaboration and the use of transitional words/phrases Use the proofreading marks on the wall by the student center to provide feedback on spelling and grammar errors

Rewrite Now, let’s rewrite our essays to make them a 4 – 4 – 2 ! On a new piece of paper, start your rewrite of your body paragraphs Use the color coding system, the transition toolbox and the different elaborative techniques as you go to make sure are on the right track. I have provided the texts for you so you can go through them again.
