A video exercise to see a well written hook, thesis, topic sentences, transition words, counter-argument & conclusion.

Take time to watch this video on how to hi-light essays written in all English classes. Although this video was recorded when we were using APEX, it is still applicable for how to hi-light an essay in Edgenuity or from the Textbook. This is also used for the final project essay. The hi-lighters are located in the double-door cabinet next to the classroom door for handwritten essays.
Pink = hook (to grab the reader's attention with the first sentence) 
Yellow = thesis (states the main idea; what the essay is about. The                   last sentence of the first paragraph)
Orange = counter-argument (opposite of thesis in a Persuasive essay)
              "quotations" (words spoken by someone else)
Green = transition words (first, next, although, therefore, as a result)
             topic sentence (first sentence in the paragraph; main idea)
             sensory words (sound, touch, taste, smell, and sight words)
             figurative language (metaphor, simile, hyperbole, symbol,                    personification, analogy, etc.
Blue = conclusion or clincher sentence (give advise, feelings,                       dialogue, questions and/or restate the thesis
