Bring three different coloured highliters to class to colour code the essay.
Thanks for signing the card for Mrs. Mowat. I mailed it during class. She'll really appreciate it. You took your work seriously today. Well done. Go, Spartans, go!
Tomorrow:
First, bring your USSR books for silent reading. Please arrive on time.
Second, colour code the quotes into three separate topics.
Next, label each colour so you know what the topic is:
Blue: Myths about wolves that perpetuate negative stereotypes
Yellow: Facts about wolves that reveal their positive qualities
Pink: Despite the facts, man continues to exploit wolves due to greed and a misunderstanding of how all things are connected
NEXT: TURN EACH LABEL INTO A STRONG, INSIGHTFUL THESIS FOR EACH BODY PARAGRAPH.
blue: The government, hunters, trappers and gossipers despise wolves and
spread erroneous ideas in order to hide their true motives: greed.
yellow:
Based on Farely Mowat's scientific observations, wolves vehemently
refute the label "savage killer"; in fact, these gentle beasts play a
vital role in the ecosystem of the north.
pink: Humans treat
wolves with contempt out of greed but this insolent response also
reveals that unless people protect these sacred, defensive animals, they
will be slaughtered.
FINALLY, WRITE A THESIS STATEMENT FOR THE ENTIRE ESSAY BASED ON THESE THREE SENTENCES. MAKE SURE IT IS INSIGHTFUL AND NOT TOO BROAD:
In the novel, Never Cry Wolf, by Farley Mowat, the innocent wolf,
slaughtered by fear and greed, must be revered--they keep the caribou
strong, live honorably, and deserve man's respect.
NEXT: YOU NEED A HOOK. LOOK AT THE ONE YOU USED FOR THE PIGMAN. A QUOTE, ANECDOTE, STATEMENT, STATISTIC, FACT ETC THAT COMPELS THE AUDIENCE TO READ ON.
FINALLY: USE THE INTRODUCTION TEMPLATE TO COMPLETE A DRAFT.
GOOD COPY IS DUE TUESDAY. TYPED. DOUBLE SPACED.
