        when planning your argument you should:
        
        Include a 2-3 line introduction
        
        link the paragraphs together using connectives
        
        IT SHOULD NOT BE A BALANCED ARGUMENT
        
        :checkered_flag: Question 5 is all about PERSUASIVE WRITING. All you have to do is write a persuasive entry in the form given to you
        
        DO NOT :
        
        DO NOT start sentences with the subject of the paragraph
        e.g.) The rocks...The thunder
        
        AVOID using cliche similes and onomatopoeia
        - ADD one word/one-line paragraphs for effect
        
        ADD colons/ semi-colons
        
        When writing a sophisticated argument use the acronym PERMS. They are 5 topics that each of your paragraphs could be about. You just have to fit a suitable topic under the umbrella of a word:
        **- P = personal
        
        E = economic
        
        R = religious

        :checkered_flag: Introduction
        
        In this question you need to include a short introduction. The introduction should be 3 lines at the most and should include these features:

        PG 36 IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE BOOK
        
        before writing the answer to question 3, it's important that you bullet point what happens in the text chronologically

      - :star: Question 1
        
        About 5 minutes should be spent on this question
        
        :checkered_flag: Question 1 is about the text and content within it. All you have to do is LIST the statements that are true
        
        DO NOT shade in the entire box or do anything besides shade in the oval within the square
        
        pick out direct quotes from the piece of text so you can't go wrong on the answer
        
        highlight key features of the text so you know which box to shade in
  - - - Write your story answering the basic questions that any news article must supply to the reader, "who," what," "when," "where," "why" and "how." Tell the reader who the story is about -- what happened to that person or people, or what is it that they did; when the event occurred; why the event occurred and how the people involved did what they did. Fill in all the facts in easy-to-understand terms that provide satisfying descriptions and explanations to a reader who may have no prior knowledge of the subject you're writing about.
    - - Verify your facts by rereading the text and analyzing whether or not all of your reporting is backed up by research or interviews of those involved with the story. If parts of your story are unsupported by factual information or are based on assumptions you've made without getting confirmation from reliable sources, then it's time to go back and ensure that any weak points in your article are clarified and supported by more substantial reporting.
    - - End your article with a summary of the facts and answers to any questions that the article may have raised. For example, if it is a crime story and the police have not yet reported that the crime has been solved, end with a discussion of the ongoing police investigation and explain further, if more information is needed, what the police are seeking to learn and what can bring the case to a conclusion.
    - - Complete a hard news story on a political event, act of war or natural disaster with with an eye toward the future. What are the possible outcomes that this event may bring about? Who will be affected by the event, and what, if any, possible solutions lie on the horizon? Check your facts for consistency and proofread your work for typographical errors.
    - - End your feature story, if it's a lighthearted piece, with a quip or amusing anecdote, if that's appropriate to the subject matter. If possible, write an ending paragraph that offers and amusing reference to the article's opening paragraph, especially if your story begins with a questions, such as, "How will John Ames Fulbright spend his 100th birthday?" After a story that will likely summarize Mr. Fulbright's life, your last paragraph can answer that question with a telling quote from Mr. Fulbright. "I'll be trout fishing at my favorite stream, as usual," he said.

    - - 1:Plan Your Closing Remarks Word For Word.
        
        To ensure that your conclusion is as powerful as it can be, you must plan it word for word.
        
        Ask yourself, “What is the purpose of this talk?”
        
        Your answer should involve the actions that you want your listeners to take after hearing you speak on this subject.
        
        When you are clear about the end result you desire, it becomes much easier to design a conclusion that asks your listeners to take that action.
        
        The best strategy for ending with a BANG is to plan your close before you plan the rest of your speech.
        
        You then go back and design your opening so that it sets the stage for your conclusion.
        
        The body of your talk is where you present your ideas and make your case for what you want the audience to think, remember, and do after hearing you speak.
      - 2:Always End A Speech With A Call To Action.
        
        It is especially important to tell the audience what you want it to do as a result of hearing you speak.
        
        A call to action is the best way to wrap up your talk with strength and power.
        
        Listen to how Tony Robbins ends this TED talk with a call to action. He begins his close at 18:00 minutes.
        
        He also tells a great story at the end of his speech, which we’ll discuss more in a moment…
        
        Here Is A Speech Conclusion Call To Action Example.
        
        “We have great challenges and great opportunities, and with your help, we will meet them and make this next year the best year in our history!”
        
        Whatever you say, imagine an exclamation point at the end. As you approach the conclusion, pick up your energy and tempo.
        
        Speak with strength and emphasis.
        
        Drive the final point home.
        
        Regardless of whether the audience participants agree with your or are willing to do what you ask, it should be perfectly clear to them what you are requesting.
      - 3:End A Speech With A Summary.
        
        There is a simple formula for any talk:
        
        Tell them what you are going to tell them.
        
        Tell them.
        
        Then, tell them what you told them.
        
        As you approach the end of your talk, say something like,
        
        “Let me briefly restate these main points…”
        
        You then list your key points, one by one, and repeat them to the audience, showing how each of them links to the other points.
        
        Audiences appreciate a linear repetition of what they have just heard.
        
        This makes it clear that you are coming to the end of your talk.
      - 4:Close With A Story.
        
        As you reach the end of your talk, you can say,
        
        “Let me tell you a story that illustrates what I have been talking about…”
        
        You then tell a brief story with a moral, and then tell the audience what the moral is.
        
        Don’t leave it to them to figure out for themselves.
        
        Often you can close with a story that illustrates your key points and then clearly links to the key message that you are making with your speech.
      - 5:Make Them Laugh.
        
        You can close with humor.
        
        You can tell a joke that loops back into your subject and repeats the lesson or main point you are making with a story that makes everyone laugh.
        
        During my talks on planning and persistence, I discuss the biggest enemy that we have, which is the tendency to follow the path of least resistance. I then tell this story.
        
        Ole and Sven are out hunting in Minnesota and they shoot a deer. They begin dragging the deer back to the truck by the tail, but they keep slipping and losing both their grip and their balance.
        
        A farmer comes along and asks them, “What are you boys doing?”
        
        They reply, “We’re dragging the deer back to the truck.”
        
        The farmer tells them, “You are not supposed to drag a deer by the tail. You’re supposed to drag the deer by the handles. They’re called antlers. You’re supposed to drag a deer by the antlers.”
        
        Ole an Sven say, “Thank you very much for the idea.”
        
        They begin pulling the deer by the antlers. After about five minutes, they are making rapid progress. Ole says to Sven, “Sven, the farmer was right. It goes a lot easier by the antlers.”
        
        Sven replies, “Yeah, but we’re getting farther and farther from the truck.”
        
        After the laughter dies down, I say…
        
        “The majority of people in life are pulling the easy way, but they are getting further and further from the ‘truck’ or their real goals and objectives.”
        
        That’s just one example of closing using humor.
      - 6:Make It Rhyme.
        
        You can close with a poem.
        
        There are many fine poems that contain messages that summarize the key points you want to make.
        
        You can select a poem that is moving, dramatic, or emotional.
      - 7:Close With Inspiration.
        
        You can end a speech with something inspirational as well.
        
        If you have given an uplifting talk, remember that hope is, and has always been, the main religion of mankind.
        
        People love to be motivated and inspired to be or do something different and better in the future.
        
        Here are a few of my favorite inspirational quotes that can be tied into most speeches.
        
        Remember, everyone in your audience is dealing with problems, difficulties, challenges, disappointments, setbacks, and temporary failures.
        
        For this reason, everyone appreciates a poem, quote or story of encouragement that gives them strength and courage.
        
        Here are 7 Tips to Tell an Inspiring Poem or Story to End Your Speech:
        
        You have to slow down and add emotion and drama to your words.
        
        Raise your voice on a key line of the poem, and then drop it when you’re saying something that is intimate and emotional.
        
        Pick up the tempo occasionally as you go through the story or poem, but them slow down on the most memorable parts.
        
        Especially, double the number of pauses you normally use in a conversation.
        
        Use dramatic pauses at the end of a line to allow the audience to digest the words and catch up with you.
        
        Smile if the line is funny, and be serious if the line is more thought provoking or emotional.
        
        When you come to the end of your talk, be sure to bring your voice up on the last line, rather than letting it drop. Remember the “exclamation point” at the end.
      - 8:Make It Clear That You’re Done.
        
        When you say your final words, it should be clear to everyone that you have ended. There should be no ambiguity or confusion in the mind of your audience. The audience members should know that this is the end.
        
        Many speakers just allow their talks to wind down.
        
        They say something like, “Well, that just about covers it. Thank you.”
        
        This isn’t a good idea…
        
        It’s not powerful…
