WRITING to SOURCES Expository Writing Prompt

human vice or folly. Be sure to:
• Establish and support a controlling idea.
• Use transitions to create cohesion and clarify the relationships among ideas and concepts.

Have students respond to the writing prompt by analyzing the satirical text they have just read. Remind students to use the TLQC [transition word + lead-in + quote + citation] structure to explain and embed textual evidence smoothly into a sentence. Also, remind students that commentary is analysis. Students should never use “I think” statements in an analytical paragraph/essay since a formal style is required. Check that, in responding to the writing prompt, students are following the “Be sure to” statements.
Leveled Differentiated Instruction
In this activity, have students create a bank of additional transitions to add to their writing and use an Idea Connector graphic organizer to connect ideas in the two sentences.
Em Guide students to add transition words from their list to their organizer, such as at
the end, next. Work with students to write a combined sentence using the transitions.
Ex Guide students to add a variety of transition words
and phrases from their list to their organizer such as for example, as a result, on the other hand.
Br Have students add a variety of transition words and phrases
from their list to their organizer such as for instance, in addition, consequently.
Ask students to revisit their draft
to check for the use of the literary present and appropriate transitions to create cohesion.
The texts in future activities are also examples of satire. Challenge students to find the elements
of satire—irony, sarcasm, and ridicule—in upcoming texts.
