Vocabulary test on 1-40 is tomorrow.

Tonight: First, complete the entire form that we did during class today, please call your homework buddy.

Next: Complete the introduction to the essay.

1st sentence: a hook to get your audience interested in the topic
2nd: the thesis (There was a sample on the board, in your package, etc) Since you will be typing this intro, italicize the novel study instead of underlining it and do not use quotation marks around the title as that is only for story titles.
3rd: your first body paragraph thesis
4th sentence your second body para. thesis
5th sentence your third body para.
6th sentence: restate the thesis emotionally It is outrageous that ... or Sadly, or It takes courage to .... etc and do not repeat the title and author of the book.

Focus on your writing style here so the sentences make sense. Focus on variety in length and sentence beginning. Make sure that each thesis sentence offers an opinion and a reason for that opinion.

Make sure that your overall thesis for the essay summarizes all the points you plan to discuss.
