This week we've worked hard on developing thesis statements, preparing arguments, and in general preparing to write a rough draft an essay on Lord of the Flies due on Monday, 8 November.
We worked to revise thesis statements, and to ensure that each addressed a "big question."
Then we created a "Argument Outline." This is simply a list in the steps that the author has to lead their reader through to make a clear and convincing argument.
We discussed the general / theoretical structure of an essay. See notes here.
The Lord of the Flies essay will be about three (3) pages long -- printed of course! It should have three embedded quotes, but if you believe that there are not three appropriate quotes see Mr. Zartler on Tuesday with your 2nd rough draft.
