Unit 2 Review Key

Directions:  Fill in this paper using your notes or teacher review.

The four tasks of writing an academic paragraph are

1. Topic Sentence

2. Respond to the first sentence

3. Make your case

4. Remind the reader why

A topic sentence does three things, what are they?

1. Help organize the paragraph

2. Summarizes the information

3. Offers the topic and a controlling idea

A hook is the first sentence in your introduction paragraph used to capture the reader’s attention.

There are three main parts to the introductory paragraph, they are 1. hook, 2. bridge, and 3. thesis.

A filler sentence connects your hook to the thesis statement, move the reader from the instant hook to the main point of your essay, and serves as the bridge of your introductory paragraph.

There are three parts to making up a thesis statement, the topic , your argument, and 2-3 main points.

The thesis statement should express a main idea that links to supporting points in the body paragraph (yep, it’s true!).

The thesis statement appears in the first paragraph.

The best thesis statements are NOT formed in a question.

The conclusion paragraph summarizes your essay, shows you proved the point you set out to make, and leaves the reader remembering your main point.

Tone is how something sounds.

Logos is a persuasive technique that appeals to the intellect or logical reasoning.

Pathos is a persuasive technique that appeals to the emotions.

Kairos is the persuasive technique that appeals to urgency or a time to act now.
