After SSR, Ortega introduced our next Model Assembly component. We are expected to write two 3 minute speeches, one supporting our own bill and the other in support or against someone else's bill. We will be needing this both for the week of Model Assembly and the week before in order to recite them to Ortega. In order to write professional and political though, Ortega suggested and requires us to research news daily on this website (you may use others though, this is just an option). The more we read of this genre of writing, the more familiar it will become to us. This is why she taught us how to write captivating intros to our speeches. After reading a few of our editorials intros, we gathered that a good introduction will contain one of the four following methods: shocking or surprising statements (including statistics), rhetorical question, an anecdote, or a quote. For homework we are expected to write an amazing introduction for the support of our own bill. If you need help, look through editorials and study how the professionals write theirs. It just takes time to pick up the writing style.
"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that." - Stephen King
