Transcript The Principle Parts of a Verb

Bell Work: Funnel with
Anecdote
Write a FUNNEL INTRODUCTION on the
following topic:
“Students always enjoy Thanksgiving break.
What is the one thing you are looking
forward to this Thanksgiving break?”
 You MUST start with an anecdote and have
it be a minimum of five sentences. Begin
with either “Imagine,” “I remember,” or
“Take yourself back.”
Example
Imagine opening infinite boxes filled with glass
balls, snowflakes, lights, and red candles. You dress up
your dinning room table with Santa Clause placemats
and green napkins. You take the Christmas tree out of
its gigantic box and build it high enough that it almost
touches the ceiling. This day is what you were looking
forward to all year.
Everyone looks forward to something to do on
Thanksgiving break. Some people can’t wait to sleep
in. Others enjoy starting their Christmas shopping
early. If I had to choose what I was looking forward to
most this Thanksgiving break, I would choose putting
up my Christmas decorations because it makes me
forget my troubles, gives my home a warm feeling, and
brings my husband joy.
Take yourself back to last
Thanksgiving. Your grandmother is
slaving away in the kitchen all day
wiping her brow and fixing her apron.
She is making mountains of macaroni
and cheese, sweet potato pie, corn
muffins, and green bean casserole.
She smiles at you to indicate the
moment we all have been waiting for
has arrived – the turkey is ready and
about to be carved!
