TODAY’S AGENDA:

PUMPKIN PIE T-CHART & PARAGRAPH

HIGHLIGHTING THE PARAGRAPHS

BUILDING A PARAGRAPH

1. EMPTY THE ENVELOPE & UNFOLD THE TEMPLATE TO ARRANGE THE PIECES ON.

2. READ THROUGH EACH ITEM AND FIND THE CLAIM, THE WARRANTS THAT SUPPORT THE CLAIM AND THE 8 PIECES OF EVIDENCE THAT PROVE THE WARRANTS.

3. ARRANGE THE STATEMENTS CORRECTLY ON YOUR BLANK T-CHART AND RAISE YOUR HAND.

4. IF YOU HAVE ANY ERRORS THE TEACHER WILL TELL YOU AND YOU CAN START AGAIN.

USING WHAT YOU FIND IN THE ENVELOPE ON YOUR DESK, YOU AND YOUR PARTNER WILL BE BUILDING A T-CHART.

THE ENVELOPE CONTAINS: A BLANK T-CHARTA CLAIM2 WARRANTS THAT SUPPORT THE CLAIM

8 BITS OF EVIDENCE WHICH SUPPORT THE 2 WARRANTS

KINESTHETIC ACTIVITY: Arrange the following statements on your t-chart

WARRANTS EVIDENCE

Pumpkin pie is the perfect survival food

A. Nutritious because it contains all the food groups.

1. Squash is a vegetable2. Eggs = protein3. Milk = diary4. Crust has wheat and oil

B. Won’t get tired of Eating it because it tastes great.

4. Pumpkin custard is light and smooth

1. Warm pie with whipped cream 2. Nutmeg3. Flaky crust

Although many consider pumpkin pie a simple dessert, it is the

perfect survival food. Pumpkin pie is loaded with vitamins and nutrition. It is

made from a squash, a tremendously nutritious vegetable. Also, pumpkin pie

contains the protein of eggs, the dairy of milk and the grain of the wheat flour crust.

When one considers the oil in the crust, pumpkin pie contains all the food groups.

Furthermore, pumpkin pie tastes good enough to eat day after day. Few items taste

as good as a warm pumpkin pie, with a dollop of whipped cream. Pumpkin pie is

the perfect combination of a flaky crust, sweet nutmeg and a creamy pumpkin

custard that people crave long after Thanksgiving.

My dad is very knowledgeable. His international

business dealings have helped him meet many important people who

have taught him a great deal. For instance, he has worked with the

former director of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as well as the

Chinese President of Festivals and Events. It was from these individuals

that my Dad learned enough to manage the Boise River Festival. My dad

is also a source of unlimited “Do it yourself “ information. If I ever need

to know the correct way to mow the lawn, my dad can tell me the right

way to do it. He also knows how to barbeque the perfect hamburger,

build a gazebo and solve complex algebra problems. Last summer he

decided to build a fire pit in the back yard. By the time he was done he

was an expert stone mason. Finally my dad is an expert in unique and

diverse trivia. For example, he knows the exact date that the civil war

ended and how to write a grammatically correct speech. Furthermore,

he is an expert on anything regarding Star Wars or 70’s classic rock.

When I first started reading The Million Dollar Note by Robert

Kraske I thought that I had picked a boring book, but now that I have finished

reading it, I feel differently. First, the book tells many exciting tales of how

ordinary people have changed their lives by finding a bottle on the beach with a

message tucked neatly inside and a cork stuck on the top. One tale for example,

occurred on March 16, 1949 when Jack Worm found a bottle with a will inside.

The will was written by Daisy Alexander, the daughter of Isaac Singer, a famous

sewing machine millionaire. She left the finder of the bottle twelve million

dollars. Another was the story of Jennie and Robert Classen who fell in love

because of a letter Robert wrote and put in a bottle. The book also tells of many

other uses made by bottle messages. Some of the messages were used to spread

religion, to explain a disaster at sea, to solve a crime, or to predict oil spills. In

addition, The Million Dollar Note tells how the ocean currents can be charted by

the use of bottle messages. Two thousand years ago, a Greek oceanographer

named Theophratus believed that the Mediterranean Sea received most of its

water from the Atlantic Ocean. He dropped bottles into the Strait of Gibraltar to

prove his theory. In modern times scientists have used bottles to prove that the

currents between Japan and the United States are changing. I’m glad that I didn’t

give up on this book and would recommend it to you if you are looking for

interesting reading.

SOMETIMES, TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BUILD SOMETHING,

IT HELPS TO FIRST TAKE IT APART

TODAY WE ARE GOING TO WORK ONTHE ORGANIZATION OF A BODY PARAGRAPH BY

TAKING IT APART..

The next slide contains a complete, informative paragraph.

(2) First: we will read it.

Then we will highlight it

(1) Last: each of you will create the t-fold.

In other words, I want you to

UNWRITE the following paragraph.

Santa Clause may be a great guy, but he is not a good role model. It is

important to find a hard working role model who will teach me to be a productive

member of society and Santa only works one night of the year. It seems rather lazy

to me, that he works one day and then takes the next 364 days off. Granted, he

works a 20 hour day, due to the rotation of the world, but how can 20 hours

compensate for the remaining hours when he isn’t working, so he isn’t earning an

income, paying taxes or benefitting society. Additionally, If I am to succeed, I need

a role model who uses technology efficiently, but Santa seems to be unable to keep

up with technology. Instead of a truck or even a train, he is still driving a sleigh

pulled by reindeer. Additionally, the list he keeps is handwritten on parchment

rather than using software that is easily updated. Finally, I need a role model who

exercises and eats correctly and Santa has health issues. All I have ever heard of

Santa eating is cookies and milk, and I cannot ignore his need to shed a few

pounds. No one really wants a belly that shakes when one laughs “like a bowl full

of jelly.”
