Due Monday

Complete the LEAD worksheet.  On the back of the worksheet, create 2 new introduction paragraphs by following the prompts.

Introduction paragraph #1
As society progresses there seems to be more and more emphasis on when children should start school.  Some mothers feel they want their children to be at home longer to gain more love and build a better bond with family.  Other mothers feel the earlier children start school the better they will be at socializing.  In a well written introduction, state what you think.

Introduction #2
Teenagers brains are far more developed than teenagers from 20 years ago.  There is some debate on whether they should even attend school or not.  Some believe they are better off staying at home and school themselves.  In a well written introduction, state what you think.


Note:  Follow the rules of do's and don'ts of writing a thesis statement.  Also, include all the elements of a good introduction (Lead, Bridge, Thesis).
