BW:  Read the student samples and list one piece of evidence from an article and one anecdotal piece of evidence from each of them, four altogether.

Activities:

1.  Share Out:  What is a piece of evidence from an article for the “goals” paragraph?  What is an anecdotal piece of evidence from the “kitchen skills” paragraph?  Where is the reasoning that follows this piece of evidence?  How does the topic sentence in the “goals” paragraph correspond to the concluding sentence?
