I was at a writing conference today and so everyone was working with a substitute. The focus of today's class was building on the thesis and claims work we started in class yesterday.
In class, people started with the claims they established for homework and worked to make those more powerful. Once claims were established they were used to start creating an outline by identifying evidence on motifs that supports these claims. For this, I provided students with a section key for The Road identifying key words or phrases associated with different sections of the book.
Handouts:
Theme and Message Outline for The Road
Section key for The Road
Homework:
Continue to gather evidence for the claims in your essay
