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 in class we finished up our benchmark assessment. We only had to complete our extended response question. We had to write 2-3 paragraphs. I’m confident that I did ok on my test. This was the most challenging part of the test. Only because I don’t know how to make an essay that short.
