Reminders: 
Extreme Sports essays were due TODAY. Be sure your's is done.

Goal: Take the California Healthy Kids Survey

Essay first draft due Friday May 4th in PowerSchool

You essay needs to have a green similarity score:

• green (one matching word - 24% similarity index)
• yellow (25-49% similarity)
• orange (50-74% similarity)
• red (75-100% similarity)

You should be coming to the end of your essay, which means you'll soon be writing the CONCLUSION. Be sure your conclusion:

• Restates and emphasizes your thesis/claim
• Provides the "so what?" -- explains why this argument is relevant to you and the world around you

Before you move on to your body paragraphs, reread your intro and make sure you:

Now it's time to prove your claim. Consider what subclaims (reasons) you will present in your essay. You will likely need at least one paragraph to present each subclaim. You will also need evidence to support each subclaim. Your evidence will come from the extreme sports articles we read in class.
The evidence that you pull from the articles must be quoted. For example:

 

1 BODY PARAGRAPH MUST INCLUDE A COUNTERARGUMENT/DEVIL'S ADVOCATE:

As you continue to write the body of your essay, make sure you include an opposing viewpoint/counterargument. Remember, this is the opposite side of the argument, what someone who disagrees with you might say. Below are some sentence frames to help you introduce an opposing viewpoint and counterargument:

• Some people may argue...
• On the other hand, __________ believes that...

Most importantly, once you bring up an opposing view, you MUST refute it (prove it wrong). Below are some frames to help you refute the opposing view:

• However, they are incorrect because...
• This is a valid point, but...

Write an argumentative position paper related to our study of extreme sports and other risk-taking behaviors. 
Examine and annotate a mentor text:

Example introduction paragraph:

We will share aloud tomorrow.
Writing your thesis can be the most important, yet challenging part of your essay. It provides the reader with a claim that you intend on proving with the evidence presented in the rest of your essay. Some of the frames below will help you to write a very basic thesis statement. Challenge yourself to take your thesis a step further, like the one in the mentor text above.  

• I agree/disagree with __________________________’s quote because…
• While some may disagree with ________________’s quote, I relate to it because…
• I agree/disagree with ___________________’s quote. There are times when unnecessary risk is not acceptable because…
