Effective Introductions

We started off this week by talking once more about how to write effective introductions! March is creeping up on us and we need to be prepared to write our long compositions! Together as a class we came up with a sort of checklist/rubric when it comes to evaluating introductory paragraphs.
Take a look at it below.

(Some of it  can apply to ALL writing and not just introductions!)

In class today we continued with the paragraph competition! Each group ranked their paragraphs and read them aloud verses other groups. As a class we used this checklist/rubric to decide which introductory paragraph was more effective/powerful. The winning group got a prize!
