PLAN AHEAD!

In my opinion, a proper introduction (essay/report) must include the following things:

When writing an essay..

INTRODUCTION

Your opening paragraph should help clarify your thinking about your topic and accomplish three things: 

1. introduce your topic

2. gain your reader’s attention

3. identify your thesis

When writing an essay..

BODY PARAGRAPH

Good paragraphs begin with a topic sentence that briefly explains what the paragraph is about. Next come a few sentences for development and support, elaborating on the topic with more detail. Paragraphs end with a conclusion sentence that summarizes the topic or presents one final piece of support to wrap up.

CONCLUSION

- Summarizes the argument

- Review the main points. Why are they important?

When writing a formal letter..

CONJUNCTIONS

Voegwoorden

Without conjunctions, you’d be forced to express every complex idea in a series of short, simplistic sentences: I like cooking. I like eating. I don’t like washing dishes afterward.

What conjunctions do you know?

Schrijf een zin met de volgende informatie
1. Je zoon is jarig, hij wil trakteren
2. Er mogen geen pinda's inzitten, er zit een jongen in zijn klas met en pinda allergie

Create two sentence using FANBOYS using the following elements:

I love candy bars. I know they are not good for me.
My brother has told me this. I don’t want to listen.

Maak een zin waarin je een correlative conjunction gebruikt waarmee je zegt dat Issam en Jack beide niet bij de vergadering aanwezig waren

Join these sentences using a subordinating conjunction:

The people were listening eagerly.
Taking notes.

REFERENCE WORDS

REFERENCE WORDS

Herschrijf de onderstaande zin met de juiste verwijswoorden:

Every organization, as soon as __ gets to any size (perhaps 1,000 people), begins to feel a need to organise __ management of workers.

Herschrijf de onderstaande zin met de juiste verwijswoorden:

Perhaps individuals have complained that __ don’t know where __ stand or what __ future is; perhaps the unions have requested standardized benefits and procedures.
