English 9: Writing a literary paragraph: four sentences are due . . .

If you were absent today, come in at lunch to pick up the TWO handouts but DO CONTACT YOUR HOMEWORK BUDDY AS THERE IS WORK TO DO TONIGHT.

Today: We read for 15 minutes, and added the next two words: sanctity and loquacious. I checked the homework: Have you read at least 130 pages? Did you complete the character chart for the father?

Tomorrow: I will need to see your library cards. I will need to see the first four sentences of your paragraph:

Thesis
First Opinion
First example, cited properly and connected to an opinion
First explanation. Explain the quote. State how it proves your thesis

Use words from your vocabulary list. Use your literary must-haves list.

Follow the descriptions on the 6 point scale for a really good mark.

Bonus: List three attributes of a paragraph at a 6 point level.
