Take a look at a sample attention getter that would support your thesis statement. There are 5 types of attention getters but we are going to focus on using just 1 type for this writing practice. Let’s figure out how to identify quotes that would be useful ways to approach getting the attention of your audience. If I were writing an essay about dogs being superior to cats, for example, I might look for a quote about a dog being man’s best friend. If I were writing about the intricate workings of the brain, I might look for a quote about how men think. Whatever I choose, I need to find some way to show that it is relevant to the rest of the essay throughout my paper. I will do this through transitions and a lead in to my thesis statement, which we will work on next. For today, find 5 quotes that might go with 5 thesis statements. (You should use the 5 thesis statements that you created two lessons ago, ideally, but if you don’t have those, or you don’t want to use them, find quotes that might go with a paper about how the brain works.)
