ORQ student samples of the best of 2012



Before and after MCAS long comp lead paragraphs. The first version is clear, uses effective vocabulary, and some figurative language. It is pretty good!



After Revison to add sensory description, this NEW lead pulls the reader in to a moment. It ZAPS! __Zooms__ in on a moment, has strong __ACTION__ VERBS; uses __PERSONIFICATION__; and appeals to the senses--especially __SOUND__. The reader connects with this and is hooked to read more. It gets the reader neatly from the moment to the main focus of the rest of the essay---which will be Mom. The writer can take her first lead and revise it for use as a second paragraph to introduce and transition to the body of the paper and the main points she will make to __prove__ Mom is a hero.
