1. Get out a copy of your introduction. This was homework. You should be able to find it on Canvas if you posted it!
2. Share your introduction with the class. We will be listening for a clear description of the problem with either old age or youth.
3. We will also be hoping for an introduction that captures our attention. Let's review some possibilities:

4. Now that you have clearly described/introduced the problem, your next task is to tell the reader how the problem came to be. What caused the problem? Do a bit of research and find out. Be sure to keep track of the source. This is a good place to include an example from life or from the news. An example from a movie or book would also be great here. (Remember, we watched UP. Think back to the characters and experiences. Talk to someone with the problem. Quote them. Remember, with minors, you MUST have parental permission to use the names. Instead, just give the general age and use yourself as the Interviewer in the Works Cited section. This is homework. Write at least two paragraphs that explain the causes of the problem. Post in Canvas by Tuesday. List your sources. (20 pts)
5. Taking care of commas.
You will be working with a partner group to "show" the class how to use commas correctly.
- Modifying phrases or clauses to begin sentences
- After a transitional word, phrase, or clause that begins a sentence
- To set off a modifier, establish a qualification, contrast, or exception.
- Before coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) in compound sentences.
- Between items in a series
- In nonessential elements
- In dates, names, titles, dates, , and addresses.
- To set off tag questions
- To use yes/no remarks and mild exclamations
- To prevent misreading
Provide two example sentences showing the rule in action.
Provide one sentence for testing! The class will have to write your sentence correctly.
You may write your rule and sentences on the board. We have plenty of space! You have 12 minutes to prepare.
