PROMPT
In The Celestials’ Railroad you learned about the Chinese workers who helped to build
the transcontinental railroad. Without the dedication of these workers, the railroad
may never have become a reality.
Imagine that you want to create a television documentary about the Chinese workers
and the challenges they faced. You’ll need a description, or “pitch,” to persuade
television producers that your documentary will be interesting. Begin by introducing
the topic. State at least two reasons why you think viewers would be interested in the
topic. Use evidence from the text to support the reasons. Don’t forget to use some of
the Critical Vocabulary words in your writing.
PLAN
Make notes, using evidence from the text, about the reasons why your
documentary would be interesting to viewers.
