YOU ARE LEARNING TO WRITE A GOOD ARGUMENT USING SOURCES.

This is a Milky Way bar. What is wrong with it?

This is a Snicker’s bar. What is RIGHT WITH IT?

PROTEIN = CONCRETE DETAILS The Peanuts are your facts. You need them for substance.

Now you need to think about your point! YOUR CLAIM.

CLAIM  This is also your THESIS  STATE WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE SUGARY DRINKS AND HIGH CALORIE SNACKS SHOULD BE CUT FROM VENDING MACHINES IN SCHOOLS?

WRITE YOUR INTRO ON FIRST PAGE OF BOOKLET  SENTENCE ONE: HOOK ABOUT SUGARY DRINKS/SNACKS or ABOUT THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC IN SCHOOLS  SENTENCES TWO AND THREE: BACKGROUND INFORMATION This answer the question: Why am I writing about this? What does the reader need to know about the topic before I move on? SENTENCE FOUR : Claim – aka THESIS – This answers the question: Should schools cut sugary drinks and high calorie snacks from vending machines in schools?

NEXT PAGE IN BOOKLET body paragraph #1  SENTENCE ONE  “There are many reasons why schools should/should not cut sugary drinks and high calorie snacks from vending machines in schools. “

NOW IS YOUR TIME TO THINK  If you heard on the loudspeaker, “Excuse the interruption, but we would like you to know that there will be nothing in the vending machines that will be sugary or high calorie. If you do not like the school district’s decision, come make an appointment to discuss the issue with me.”  Or you heard… “Excuse the interruption, we would like to inform you that the vending machines will now be filled with the foods kids like to eat. They will be filled with candy bars, soda, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. Enjoy your day.”

Now you are sitting down in the Principal’s office and need to sell your argument.

What are you going to say that will sell your side one way or the other? WHEN YOU ARE WRITING, PRETEND YOU ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION.

Present your idea and then back it up with a FACT from one of the documents.

AFTER YOU STATE A FACT FROM ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS, FOLLOW UP WITH (DOCUMENT 1) A PARENTHETICAL CITATION! Mayor Bloomberg has proposed cutting out all ….. (document 2).
