Tell me about one time that you worked your hardest and tried your best. What happened? Why were you so determined?

Introduction Review

Write the introduction to the following essay prompt:

________________ is the best season. Persuade others to agree with you.

Here is the organization your introduction needs to follow:
-An observation
-This makes me realize
-A thesis statement with three reasons

One day, as I was walking home from school, I noticed how the sidewalk was covered with leaves. With every step I took, there was a loud crunch that made it hard to talk to my friend as I walked home. At one point, my friend and I stopped and began to have a leaf fight. We picked up handfuls of leaves and started to chuck them at one another. This made me realize how much I enjoy fall as a season. Fall is an incredible season because it is still nice enough to go outside and be with friends and have fun doing silly activities like having leaf fights with friends. Summer can be too hot to be outside; winter can be too cold. Fall is just right. I believe that fall is the best season because the weather is just right, all of the change in color in trees is beautiful, and because of the most enjoyable holidays all happen during fall.

Song Theme Practice
