 * //Hey...I had the intention of putting together a very cohesive lesson on writing paragraph hooks, but I ended up having a bit of writer's block when it came time to create an example. Rather than bash my head against the laptop and damaging it (the laptop...not my noggin), I decided to ask you for help. Click on the document below and discover paragraph hooks. The RED font represents my thought process. You may also find other instances where you need to help me edit.//**

[|Explaining Paragraph Hooks]




 * //JOB 1: Begin / continue your rough copy. Remember that this is ROUGH, and will be changing according to the topics I approach in the next few days. Do not be upset when I ask you to move things around.

These are the things I will be looking for in your writing:

-- proper sequencing -- effective imagery and description -- paragraph hooks. There must be a minimum of THREE CONVINCING AND (somewhat) OBVIOUS HOOKS! -- dialogue! -- sentence structure and paragraphing! I'm beginning to get grumpy about this -- proper punctuation, etc.//**
