What up today?

Quiet Reading, as always

No journal today

Clean up work - redoing all work from the marked work handed back

New Business:

How do I support my topic sentence?

What actually goes in the body of a paragraph?

Teen and dog business is similar

Body Paragraph - something that proves this correct that comes from the article

First Step - find the proof as a quotation or reference

Second Step - compare what is in the story with what you KNOW

Third Step - you need to jot down the point that PROVES your topic sentence and INCLUDES the reference to the story

I think that the business of marketing stuff to dogs is similar to marketing stuff to teenagers.

Dogs like Jim get birthday parties and in Jim’s case, a cupcake, which he doesn’t need.

Teenagers are also sold things that they don’t need, and so are their parents. Think of the difference between name brands and store brands for clothes. There is no real difference. Teens don’t need high fashion.

Rewrite the above elements into your own paragraph for Q9 on page 5 and resub this in place of the mark that you had there. If your mark was good, then it will be a BONUS mark.
