1^st trimester – Day 42

DAY 3: Human Footprint unit

WARMUP: Write down the answers to the following:

o   1. What main “problem” did the film Human Footprint describe?

o   2. How does this problem affect you?

o   3. What is a possible solution to this problem?

Combine 1 and 3 into a single statement. This will become your thesis statement. Now add your “imagine” paragraph from Friday and presto, an opening paragraph.
