Today, students worked on their essays. After some discussion, I decided to extend the writing time by an extra day. The paper will now be due at the end of the day tomorrow.
Today, I handed out a sheet entitled "How to Capitalize Titles in MLA Style." If you were not here, see me for this.
I also explained a law and order example of an essay:
Not Guilty OR guilty (both are thesis until proven)
Wasn't there Main point 1
No motive Main point 2
No capacity Main point 3
For each of these points, evidence is needed:
1. Wasn't there: 1. video from 7 Eleven (time stamped)
2. debit slip at time of crime
3. a witness who was with him
Main point 1 would appear in the first paragraph, followed by the evidence explained and the tie in to proving the main point. Then add a concluding sentence. This is how one develops a body paragraph.
