Day 3 The Writing Process

Remember what our buddy Epictetus says: "Nothing great is created suddenly."

Do Now: When did you last try to convince a parent, friend, teacher, etc. of something (i.e., your opinion, or what you wanted)? How did you try to convince this person? Did it work?

Today's Learning Target: 
I will be able to use my thesis statement and my evidence to form supporting ideas for a multi-paragraph literary essay.
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can divide my evidence into three groups (i.e., supporting ideas) that relate back to my thesis statement.
-I can explain how these supporting ideas connect to my thesis statement and in what logical order they should appear.

Agenda: 
  1. Categorizing Evidence: Practice Activity
  2. Gathering and Categorizing Evidence
  3. Exit Ticket: of the steps we've done so far, which one is the most challenging for you? Why?

Homework: Continue categorizing your evidence and assign headings to the three categories; make sure you have at least three pieces of evidence in each category
