The document discusses how experiences can change our perspectives and personalities. It describes an incident where Alton Fitzgerald White was detained by police at his apartment for no reason other than the color of his skin. This negatively affected White by changing his previously naïve view of the world as just to one recognizing the presence of racism and unfairness. After learning the police had actually detained the Hispanic men who committed the crime, White felt angry and upset about the realization of how many innocent black men are wrongly convicted. His experience demonstrated that the world is not always as one pictures it and that this incident made his life change permanently.

Chapter 6
This document discusses thought patterns in writing and their importance for readers. There are six common thought patterns: illustration/example, definition, comparison/contrast, cause/effect, classification, and chronological order/process. Recognizing an author's thought pattern helps readers make accurate predictions and better notes. The class will be split into groups, each teaching one thought pattern. Other useful patterns discussed are statement and clarification, summary, addition, and spatial order. Students will write paragraphs using thought patterns and begin a research project.
Chapter 6.2
There are six common thought patterns authors use to organize information: illustration/example, definition, comparison/contrast, cause/effect, classification, and chronological order/process. Recognizing the thought pattern can help the reader make accurate predictions and better study the material. The class will be split into groups, each teaching one thought pattern through its characteristics, examples, and an exercise. Other useful patterns are statement and clarification, summary, and addition. Transition words are important for recognizing and writing with different organizational structures.
Main idea review
The passage discusses the importance of patents and the patent system. It notes that many modern inventions like the telephone and automobile may never have been developed without patent protection, as it provides an incentive for inventors by allowing them to protect their ideas from being copied. Key principles of the US patent system originated in England, including granting exclusive rights to inventors in exchange for publicly disclosing their inventions. The US Constitution established a uniform patent law, and the first patent was issued in 1790. The Patent Office has grown significantly over time to examine over 1,000 applications per week.
Research choices
The document provides instructions for a research project consisting of three steps. Step one is to choose a topic that interests you, excluding biographies. Step two involves reading three articles on the topic, writing summaries of each, and compiling the sources and summaries into an annotated bibliography. Step three is to present the research findings to the class using one of five formats: a poster, brochure, song/rap, PowerPoint presentation, or five paragraph essay. The project must include an annotated bibliography in MLA format listing the three sources with a short summary of each.
Ch05 details and transitions
This chapter discusses understanding paragraphs through supporting details and transitions. It explains that paragraphs contain a topic, main idea, supporting details, and transitions between ideas. Supporting details can include examples, facts, reasons, descriptions, and steps, and serve to prove or explain the main idea. Transitions guide the reader between ideas using words like time markers, enumeration, continuation, comparison/contrast, and cause/effect. The chapter teaches how to identify these components in a paragraph and paraphrase the ideas.
