  3. Adding the Blues • Bold or startling statement • Humor [used appropriately] • Facts/background info • Quotation • Examples [tv/history/literature]

  5. Topic sentence format • IVF [identify (TAT), verb, finish] • Occasion/Position • However • Number

  6. YELLOW- used for transitioning into your reasons • Every time you give a new reason to prove your topic, use a transition word • Examples: To begin, in addition, finally

  7. RED- for every reason you have, you must support it with EVIDENCE [details or facts] and EXAMPLES! • You MUST EXPLAIN and ELABORATE your thinking. TELL ME MORE! BE SPECIFIC!

  8. …and back to GREEN • Finish EVERY paragraph with a CONCLUSION SENTENCE to wrap up your thinking • Do NOT end on facts • Do NOT end abruptly and leave your reader hanging! • Essays have conclusion paragraphs
