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’s class was lack luster. We didn’t do anything interactive. We started class off with an assessment on terms we haven’t looked at or thought about since writing them in our notebooks. Since I did do a bit of cram studying I think I did pretty well on the test. After completing this test we did a pre-test. This test wasn’t very hard either, it was boring though. I also didn’t get to complete my extended response question.
