Monday: Begin building the body of your essay

Learning Target:  to write one body paragraph in google docs


In order to begin writing a body paragraph today, you will need to 

A) Copy and paste your OPENING (intro) paragraph into a new google doc titled "Your Name's R & J essay".  (this is also where you will be writing your body paragraph) SHARE IT with me.

B) Complete the detail collection chart---ask me for help if you need it!

Remember:  Your 1st body paragraph should look like this:

  1. Point/claim #1
  2. Context for first detail  (who is speaking, what is happening in the story--make it brief)
  3. First detail (citation)
  4. Commentary (1st sentence) on the diction in that detail.
  5. Commentary (2nd sentence) on "so what?" (AKA how does it support my point?)
  6. Transition/Context for second detail
  7. 2nd detail (citation)
  8. Commentary-parts one and two

Last ten minutes:  copy and paste your body paragraph (what you have so far) into this shared doc:
