Sample Intro without Thesis (Grace Stadler's):
Flat, square boxes are placed on the stove, the delectable smell of the melted cheese and the cooked dough wafting out and filling the kitchen as it sits waiting for us to put away the rest of the groceries. It’s always very satisfying to finish putting everything away then come inside to open up one of the boxes and feast your eyes on the huge greasy slices. My favourite slices are the ones with the large bubbles in the dough because those spots become extra crispy. Pulling the slice away from the rest leaves long strings of gooey cheese connecting the piece to the whole. The first bite drowns your senses in a waterfall of sauce, pepperoni, cheese, and crust and fills you with bliss and leaves you wanting more. Pizza is probably one of the most deliciously unhealthy foods in America. |

"On Identity: A Collection of Found Poems" TURNITIN.COM CODES:
|
Students read and respond to historically or culturally significant literature that complements their study of American history in the junior year and fulfills the requirements of the English Language Arts Common Core Standards. In the fall semester, literature of the pre-Colonial and Colonial experience through the nineteenth century are studied. In the spring semester, the focus is on mastery of the three CC essays covered during first semester (narrative, informative and argumentative) and successful CCSS testing. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are important elements of student work.
