Today, we completed our discussion on the layout of the essay. I then gave you eight questions which I will then choose the essay final question from. We worked through one of the questions as a class. I came up with steps to follow and have pasted them below.
· Define all topic words
· Figure out what these mean to you and you’ll have an understanding of what they also will mean in the context of your text.
· Figure out the conflict present in the text you are going to work through (this will help you understand if the topic even ties in to this text or if you should use another one).
· Chart the situations when the topic is present in the characters’ actions
· Look at the outcomes
· Look at the overall outcome (positive/negative)
· Create a thesis (start with “sometimes”, but then remove it)
