Today our focus was on the body paragraphs of our essays, particularly on crafting a good lead-in or setup for our textual evidence. Spend 20 minutes working on your essay this evening, and read for 20 minutes as well. If you haven't paid for To Kill a Mockingbird, please do so this week. We are starting it a week from today.
We read Chapter 7 from They Say I Say, and you can find a PDF to that text on a post from last week. Please read that for your 20 minutes of reading homework if you were absent today and fill out your notes template.
We also read two excellent poems by Billy Collins, "Forgetfulness" and "Nostalgia," which can be found here:
