Then, in first and fifth period we worked on composing the TOPIC SENTENCES for paragraphs on The Pearl. The first sentence of your paragraph is vital. If you write a specific and clear sentence, it will help you narrow your focus and find just the right details from the text more easily.
Here are samples/frames for the three questions:
1. Kino's journey is a heartbreaking example of a hero's journey.
OR
Kino's journey breaks him and makes him wiser.
2. This story is important to me because the message I get from it is ______________________.
3. Juana is the most important character because without her, Kino would have very little reason to stay a good, responsible human being with a conscience.
OR
Coyotito is important because he represents innocence lost in the story.
Once you have created satisfactory topic sentences, you are ready to find key details from the text to show me the truth of that sentence.
Tomorrow we will spend some time doing a group detail search to help you.
