WB

NO WB THIS WEEK!

Write an outline for your essay. It should include:
 * Assignment Due Tuesday, March 30**
 * your thesis
 * topic sentences for each body paragraph
 * specific examples from the book that illustrate your points (Include page numbers and a description of the significance of each example.)
 * optional for now: ideas for your intro and conclusion
 * optional for now: think about how you want to transition from one paragraph to the next

I have created a form you can fill out to create your outline: You do not need to use the form, but I do want you at least to look at it, so you are clear about what you need to include. Most of the thinking you will do for this essay happens when you are writing the outline, so allow yourself time to do it well.

If you haven't already, write a thesis for your essay. Make a list of parts of the story that relate to the topic and support your thesis. In class we will work on taking the list and turning it into an outline. We will work together on one and then have time to work individually or in pairs.
 * Assignment Due Wednesday, March 24**
 * Your list can include key passages from the book, your own related ideas, brief descriptions of moments or characters, etc.
 * As we said in class, it is okay to change your thesis if the "evidence" from the book points you towards a different conclusion.


 * Assignment Due Wednesday, March 17**
 * Come up with a topic for an essay about //Lord of the Flies//.
 * Optional: Write a thesis for your essay.

Read "How to Write and Essay" packet. Revise the outline and the thesis.
 * Assignment Due Wednesday, March 10**
 * You can change the order of the points, take some out, etc.
 * Make sure the points you end up with support your thesis. (You will have to rewrite the thesis no matter what b/c right now it is weak.)
 * You do not need to retype the outline. You can just draw arrows, cross things out, and write things in on the sheet.

Here are the guidelines, dates, and subjects of your presentations.

You will need to make a handout, which can include activities, examples, explanations, ways of remembering, etc. You will have 15 minutes to present, so you need to plan how we spend that time. Have fun!
