through research papers. Each class teaches
organizational patterns such as generalizing,
describing, defining, and expressing cause

ideas, opinions, and suggestions in pairs,
small groups, and whole-class discussions.
These brainstorming activities lead to
teacher and peer analysis of student essays
where the focus is on topic sentences,
supporting facts, discourse markers, and
concluding sentences.
