Transcript The Principle Parts of a Verb
Bell Work: Funnel with Anecdote
Write a FUNNEL INTRODUCTION on the following topic:
“Students always enjoy Thanksgiving break. What is the one thing you are looking forward to this Thanksgiving break?”
You MUST start with an anecdote and have it be a minimum of five sentences. Begin with either “Imagine,” “I remember,” or “Take yourself back.”
Example
Imagine opening infinite boxes filled with glass balls, snowflakes, lights, and red candles. You dress up your dinning room table with Santa Clause placemats and green napkins. You take the Christmas tree out of its gigantic box and build it high enough that it almost touches the ceiling. This day is what you were looking forward to all year.
Everyone looks forward to something to do on Thanksgiving break. Some people can’t wait to sleep in. Others enjoy starting their Christmas shopping early. If I had to choose what I was looking forward to most this Thanksgiving break, I would choose putting up my Christmas decorations because it makes me forget my troubles, gives my home a warm feeling, and brings my husband joy.
Take yourself back to last Thanksgiving. Your grandmother is slaving away in the kitchen all day wiping her brow and fixing her apron. She is making mountains of macaroni and cheese, sweet potato pie, corn muffins, and green bean casserole. She smiles at you to indicate the moment we all have been waiting for has arrived – the turkey is ready and about to be carved!
