- Today we worked really well on our preparation for tomorrow's essay.
- Most students left class with a fabulous thesis statement.
- Remember: Your thesis statement must reflect all three paragraphs that you will be writing about.
Think about your first two paragraphs:
1. Truth about wolves 2. Myths about wolves 3. ???(What will you discuss here? What do the first two paragraphs add up to? Why does Mowat call the book, Never Cry Wolf? What changes as a result of Mowat's studies and the brilliant facts he discovers about wolves, their relationship to caribou and the environment, the way Ootek interacts with them, etc? Why are government policies so blatantly anti-wolf?)
Your third paragraph may be the effects of the truth versus myths. Whatever it is, make sure your thesis mentions it.
Homework: Complete the essay plan. You will need it during the in-class essay tomorrow. It will also be marked. You may write your introduction on the back of the essay plan or email it to yourself if you plan on using a computer for your in-class essay.
Friday: Mowat journals are due! I'm looking forward to these "works of art".
