Wednesday: Writing your 3rd body paragraph

Today you have more time to work on the body of your Romeo and Juliet essay.   (At this point you all should be working in your doc titled "Your name's R & J essay." )

Tomorrow you will be working in groups to peer review your essays and give each other feedback.

Each body paragraph should have

• a claim that is NOT a fact!  This is a conclusion that comes naturally from your thesis.
• evidence/details from the text that support your conclusion about the text.
• commentary that carefully and thoughtfully explains what you see in the details you cite.  

By tomorrow, you should have an opening paragraph, along with three body paragraphs.

Here is a link to the rubric we will be using: RUBRIC
