TONIGHT’S ASSIGNMENT


Begin work on Essay # 5
This will be an exercise in using
excellent transitions.

In this essay, your task is to write about
CRYING.
In the 8-sentence body paragraph
(due tonight on your blog)
discuss why you think Jem was crying on p. 84.
Read over the previous pages carefully, 
looking for possible reasons for his tears. 
Look especially for brief quotes
that you can use in the paragraph 
to support your main points.

BE SURE TO INCLUDE A BRIEF QUOTE
IN EACH OF THE TWO CHUNKS.

Please label your sentences, 
use excellent transitions,
and lengthen and enhance at least one sentence by using a PARTICIPLE at the end.  
 
I will check your work tomorrow morning. 
The full 4-paragraph essay --
including a self-assessment --
will be due next Monday night on your blog.
(The second body paragraph -- 8 or 11 sentences -- will deal with your personal thoughts and memories about crying.)
