You do not have homework.
We will begin class on Thursday with a 40 minute timed writing. Review the skills necessary for writing a well structured and interesting essay.
Think:
Start by jotting down a quick outline of your thoughts
Thesis-must be interpretive
Paragraphs need interpretive topic sentences
Body Paragraphs: should include quotations sandwiches that provide quality interpretation of examples that prove the argument set forth in the thesis
Embedded quotes are a great way to show your interaction with the author
A strong conclusion is a must-make sure I understand your argument
An introduction is helpful but not absolutely necessary for an upper level essay
After completing the timed writing, you will spend the remainder of the class period doing your team work over "The Conversion of the Jews."
