For the 9th Grade:  Create your introduction paragraph
Here are the videos we used in class.  Tonight's homework is to create your and introductory paragraph and thesis statement . It may help to first focus on the thesis statement and work backwards from there.
This movie will help guide you in developing your introduction.  Remember, the first sentence does not need to discuss the thesis. The first sentence can be very broad and narrow to the topics in subsequent sentences.
