<p>I like to start a lesson by telling a story.&nbsp; For example:&nbsp; I share a story about visiting a candy store.</p> <p>I ask students questions about their experiences purchasing chocolates; and I ask them to describe their favorite</p> <p>purchase.&nbsp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Then, I make a transition to the lesson by describing how a candy store is like the parts of an essay:&nbsp;</em> </span></p> <p><strong>Introduction</strong>-The window of the candy store becomes the "window of opportunity."&nbsp; When writing, you must catch the readers attention so they become curious.&nbsp; You provide just enough information to keep them reading.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong> Body</strong>-The inside of the candy store is like the body of an essay. It is well-organized with numerous examples.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion-</strong> Leaving the candy store is like the conclusion of an essay. You reflect and summarize your experience.&nbsp;</p> <p>Students never forget this information!</p>
