Day Seven WRITING WORKSHOP: You are a disgruntled (unhappy/angry) person who is bugged/irritated by ________________(go back to the rehearsed three paragraphs and choose a topic), AND you are writing the local editor of a newspaper to persuade readers that there must be a change! Write your introductory paragraph....How will you start? With a story. With a quote. With a startling statement. With a question to your reader? Try writing at least three different introductions. Make sure that by the end of the introductory paragraph we know how you feel (what bugs you) and what you want us (the readers) to do about it. READERS WORKSHOP: Read your book and choose another project from the list-remember, your objective by the end of the week is to obtain 100 points.

Copy your chosen introduction and detail paragraphs onto a rough draft beginning with..."Dear Editor,". READERS WORKSHOP: Continue reading and choosing projects to total 100 points.
Day Nine WRITING WORKSHOP: In your editorial letter, you have told your readers what you WILL TELL them in your introduction, you TOLD them in your body paragraphs, and now you must tell them what you HAVE TOLD them in the conclusion-also, leave your readers with a call to action...What do you want them to do as a result of your letter? READERS WORKSHOP: Continue reading and finish your projects by tomorrow.
