The Parts of the Introductory Paragraph
n The Hook - Designed to grab attention immediately and give some indication about the essay’s topic
n The Transition - Moves the reader from the hook to the driving force of the essay….
n The Thesis - Makes the contract with the reader about what will be discussed without a blatant announcement.
In what order do I write the introductory paragraph?
Even though the reader will read the hook first, you actually write the thesis statement first! On a separate piece of paper, write the thesis statement. Then read over the thesis and generate a hook that will grab the reader’s attention. Finally, transition to the thesis and recopy the thesis statement as the last sentence in the paragraph.
At night……
We do activity about a murder. We need to find who the murderer, the weapon used and the scene of the killing occurred. Each of us receive a card. From the card, we can solve the murder.
Miss Zu also provide us Bruno Mars, Grenade video clip. We need to make prediction what will happen after she pause the video.
Miss Zu do this activity to us because we learn about inferences and prediction.
Inferences
When making inferences you are making a logical guess using evidence from the text, your own knowledge, and common sense.
making inferences also involves finding deeper meanings in events and situations, meanings that are not explicit
Prediction
A prediction or forecast is a statement about the way things will happen in the future, often but not always based on experience or knowledge. While there is much overlap betweenprediction and forecast, a prediction may be a statement that some outcome is expected, while a forecast may cover a range of possible outcomes.
