English 10: Finish the second part of the paragraph . . .

Arrive tomorrow having written the following parts of your paragraphs:

Thesis
First Point (usually 1 to 2 sentences)
First Example (usually 1 sentence)
First Explanation (1-5 sentences for this section)

Transition

Second Point
Second Example
Second explanation

Be ready to complete the final three sentences and edit your paragraph during class Friday.

You will take the paragraph home, do a good copy, attach it to your draft.

Good copies must be typed, double spaced, include all our literary must-haves, and answer the question with style and insight.

The question, in this case, is proving your thematic statement. Prove why you think your sentence is the theme to this story.

I marked your found poems today. They are beautiful. I've made a display outside our classroom door and it really brightens the hallway.

Vocabulary quiz on the first ten words has been postponed until Monday due to picture day tomorrow.

Have a great night.
