This week in English, we are taking our final exams. We have turned in our essays in and taken our final test on The Outsiders. For the essay, we chose from three topics to write about. Once we chose, we found evidence from two different sources, and Mrs. Cantu showed us how to cite them. You cite them by putting the author's last name, a coma, and the page number, and all of that is in parentheses. We used the evidence to support our thesis in our body paragraphs. For The Outsiders tests, we were given a question and we had to answer it in a paragraph. The paragraph must have a topic sentence stating our claim, evidence to support it, and an analysis of the evidence. |
