Today in class we did a practice body paragraph. Before writing a body paragraph you must have a thesis. In the thesis you must have a topic and three claims. In the body paragraph you use a claim from your thesis. You then restate the claim. After this you cite evidence from experience, observation or readings. Then you explain your evidence, You cite evidence and explain the evidence at least twice. Lastly you conclude the paragraph. We also talked about the format of conclusion paragraphs. In a conclusion you restate the thesis, and end with a bang with a three sentence minimum.
Today was a gloomy day. On gloomy days I tend to drag throughout the day. Multiple times I was tempted to fall asleep. Once getting to your 4th period and seeing the poetry for us to analyze I immediately got discouraged as it isn’t my strong suit. Eventually I gave in to the temptations. I may have missed important information but i’m confident I got the bulk of the lesson. I’m hoping for a more upbeat lesson tomorrow.
