(Don't forget to look on our 'Materials" Section for the rubric for this assignment)

2- Usually for an expository writing piece, I would suggest to draft the body paragraphs first, this way when you are writing your intro, you actually know what you are introducing! Do you think that makes sense?? It has been successful; so lets do it this time as well!

3- I have returned all of your graphic organizers with your 3 choices. If I suggested to re-think any of your choices, please consider doing so. This isn't because your choices weren't good, but simply because I think you might have a difficult time writing and elaborating on those choices. You can take that recommendation or not, it's up to you.

Based on your assignment, your body paragraphs will require this:
******** Paragraphs 2, 3, 4: In each paragraph, explain the event in your life, and how the song relates to this event.**************

4- So today, I would like you to begin drafting those 3 paragraphs, using the 3 choices from your graphic organizer.
