EQ: In what ways are organized ideas stronger
ideas?• STANDARDS:• ELACC8RL1: Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the
text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. • ELACC8SL4: Present claims and findings, emphasizing salient points in a focused, coherent
manner with relevant evidence, sound valid reasoning, and well-chosen details; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume and clear pronunciation.
• ELACC8W4: Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1-3 above.)
• ELACC8W5: With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 6 on page 52.)
• ELACC8W7: Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
• ELACC8W8: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation
ACTIVATOR• A reading from the extended text The Project by
Brian Falkner.
Organize Your Notes• For each item you take notes upon, organize your
notes in the manner below:
• Organizational Pattern• Definition• Graphic Organizer Example• Other Examples
Organizational Patterns
• There are many different ways to organize your writing.
• We will focus on:o Compare and Contrast- identify the similarities and
differences between two or three topicso Problem and Solution- state a problem and suggest one
or more solutionso Chronological order- in order of timeo Logical Order- in the order that makes sense logicallyo Cause and Effect- identify the cause for something and
what happened as a result
Compare and Contrast• identify the similarities and
differences between two or three topics

Problem and Solution
Problem and Solution Topics
• Kidnapping for the purpose of ransom• Obesity issue in American citizens• How to stop the drastic increase in the population growth• Terrorism issue in the world• Cigarette smoking for asthma patients• During an election, it has become more commonplace to
see attack ads. How could politicians successfully advertise themselves without making negative statements about others.
Chronological Order• In order of timeoWhat happened
first, second, third, etc.
Chronological Order Graphic Organizer
• Think of a timeline• Chronos = Greek god of time
More Graphic Organizer Options
Chronological Order Topic Examples
• Describe your morning routine. What do you do before you go to school each day?
• Discuss the events leading up to the American Revolutionary War.
• Explain the process that candidates go through in order to run for president.
Logical Order• Where each
idea supporting the thesis is arranged in an order that makes logical sense.
Logical Order Graphic Organizers
• Many graphic organizers would work well for logical order.
• The Mind Map is the usual choice for many.
Logical Order Topic Examples
• How do you think your school could be improved. Describe at least three ways in which your school could be made better.
• Why do you think the school calendar exists with such a long Summer Break? In an essay, state your opinions. Be sure to include specific examples to support your thoughts.
• Which holidays do you think are the most important? Write a letter convincing your teacher of your opinion.
• Explain your school’s dress code. Explain your dress code to a new student at your school.
Cause and Effect• Information is
presented about an event (the cause) and what happens as a result of it (the effect).
Cause and Effect Graphic Organizer
• Show the direct relationship between each cause and its resulting effect.
CLOSING• A continuation of each research group’s
presentations.
HOMEWORK• On a sheet of notebook paper, create a graphic
organizer to depict 2 of the organizational structures addressed in class.
