Writing Homework! (Due November 15/17...had the wrong due dates...so sorry!)

Today during writing we took notes on how to write a great Compare/Contrast paper.  We focused on the purpose of this type of writing, along with tips and tricks on how to write this type of paper easily!

For homework, each student needs to write an Occasion/Position Statement (see notes and/or Handy Pages) for a paragraph either comparing (telling how they are alike) or contrasting (telling how they are different) The Secret Garden book to the movie.  After the O/P Statement has been written, each student needs to plan their paragraph...not write it, just plan for it!  Please use the following format:

Topic Sentence
     RDF (Reason/Detail/Fact)
          E (Explain)
          E
     RDF
