Title: On Demand: Step by Step


1
On Demand Step by Step
  • How to Choose the Right Prompt and Write your
    Proficient Piece

2
To Decide Which Prompt to Address
  • Read both prompts carefully.
  • Prewrite for both to decide which one you have
    the most to say about.

3
Prompt Number One
  • SITUATION Your site-based council is looking at
    whether or not to sell junk food to students as
    snacks. They like the money it makes for the
    school but worry about students health.
  • WRITING TASK Think about what youd like to see
    the school do about snack sales. Write a letter
    to the site-based council with your suggestions.
    Convince them to follow your advice.

4
Prompt Number Two
  • SITUATION Parents in your community are
    concerned that their children spend too much time
    playing video games.
  • WRITING TASK Write an article for your schools
    newsletter convincing parents of your opinion
    about whether or not kids spend too much time
    playing video games.

5
How do you prewrite for both prompts in order to
identify what youre being asked to do?
  • Mark SPAM Situation, Purpose, Audience, and
    Mode.
  • Draw a box around the situation.
  • Circle the purpose.
  • Underline the audience.
  • Put parentheses around the mode (feature article).

6
For example,
  • SITUATION Your site-based council is looking at
    whether or not to sell junk food to students as
    snacks. They like the money it makes for the
    school but worry about students health.
  • WRITING TASK Think about what youd like to see
    the school do about snack sales. Write a
    (letter) to the site-based council with your
    suggestions. Convince them to follow your
    advice.

7
Find the Key Words from Both Situations
  • SITUATION Your site-based council is looking at
    whether or not to sell junk food to students as
    snacks. They like the money it makes for the
    school but worry about students health.
  • SITUATION Parents in your community are
    concerned that their children spend too much time
    playing video games.

8
Write a lead for each making sure to include
those key words (or synonyms of those words).
  • Dear Council Members,
  • Youre certainly right to worry about the junk
    food that is sold to students as snacks at
    school. I realize that these sales make lots of
    money that the school needs. I believe that
    students would buy healthy snacks, if they were
    made available.
  • Video Games How Much is Too Much?
  • Heres a word association game to use to test
    your kids obsessions with video games
  • If you say, Joy, do they reply, Stick?
  • When you say, Fun, do they shout
    Playstation!?
  • If so, your worries are probably real. If
    you think your kids spend too many hours with a
    joystick in their hands, youre probably right.

9
As you check to see if your lead gets your
audience on the right track, see if your
transition helps accomplish this. Notice the
italics below.
  • Dear Council Members,
  • Youre certainly right to worry about the junk
    food that is sold to students as snacks at
    school. I realize that these sales make lots of
    money that the school needs. I believe that
    students would buy healthy snacks, if they were
    made available.
  • Video Games How Much is Too Much?
  • Heres a word association game to use to test
    your kids obsessions with video games
  • If you say, Joy, do they reply, Stick?
  • When you say, Fun, do they shout
    Playstation!?
  • If so, your worries are probably real. If
    you think your kids spend too many hours with a
    joystick in their hands, youre probably right.

10
Once you know for sure what the prompt is asking
you to do, prewrite
  • Draw your own graphic organizer that will work
    well for your purpose train cars, tables, webs
  • DRINK
  • Milk
  • Juice
  • H2O

WHY JUNK FOOD HAS TO GO
  • FOOD
  • Veggies
  • Fruit
  • Popcorn

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOL
11
Planning your details involves
  • Thinking about your audiences questions,
    concerns, beliefs
  • Coming up with examples and stories from your own
    life that support your view
  • Telling why and how
  • Creating categories to group your details

12
Thinking about your audiences questions,
concerns, beliefs
  • Site-based council member concerns
  • Obesity
  • How junk food affects the ability to pay
    attention
  • The money that junk food raises for the school
  • Kids wont eat whats good for them

13
Coming up with examples and stories from your own
life that support your view
  • My stories and examples that prove my point
  • When my mom stopped buying chips, cokes, and
    candy I learned to like popcorn and fruit.
  • I used to like whole milk. Now that Ive been
    drinking 2, whole milk is too rich. Same with
    tuna in spring water vs. oil.

14
Telling why and how
  • Tastes can change. According to Weight Watchers,
    it takes about 30 days to change a habit even an
    eating habit.

15
Creating categories to group your details
  • Healthy foods they will eat

Tastes change
Healthy snacks will sell at school
Healthy Drinks
Why junk food has to go
16
Drafting
  • Follow your prewriting.
  • Revise as you go.
  • Keep letting the audiences questions guide
    your writing.

17
Dont Give Up!
  • When you get tired (and you will) dont give up.
    Like the last minutes of a basketball game, you
    may want to throw in the towel. DONT!
    Revise. Edit. This is an important measure of
    success. Like the NCAA, the results will be in
    the paper. People will judge your school,
    county, and state based on how hard we try and
    how well we do. Hang in there! Nothing lasts
    forever...
  • except your legacy.
