Revising your anecdote and writing an introduction

Today we'll do two things - revise our anecdote and talk about writing your introduction paragraph.

Check out how I revised my appendix operation anecdote here:

•  Go over my rough draft and revision example (the link is above)
• In partners, share anecdotes, and find two more types of sensory details to add, and one vivid verb.
• please copy down the outline diagram that I put on the board (the next three blog postings have the pictures of it) - this will show you how to set up the three parts of your essay: introduction, body (anecdote), and conclusion.

Homework:  Revise your anecdote to include more dialog, sensory details, and vivid verbs.  Write a rough draft of your introduction.
