We are going to look at some National Orations and discuss the INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH. 

Remember the introductory paragraph should have 1) a HOOK; 2) a Thesis Statement (with connecting sentences in-between); 3) an order of development. 

Listen closely.  We you have this down we'll look at conclusions.  What does a good conclusion do?

1) Restates the topic and sums up what has been said. 2) It returns to the hook in a new and interesting way.  3) It leaves the reader/listener with something new to ponder.


If we get through both of these things we'll look at MURRAY'S FEEDBACK - where you'll listen to peer essays and give some feedback notes.
