Writing Assignment:
This week we will revert to the Introductory Persuasive Essay from lesson 2. This is so that you can focus on writing well developed proof paragraphs. Do your best to explain as fully as you can why you selected each sub proof to support your thesis. Give examples and quotes from the book when possible, and explain the relevance of each point to your thesis. Use schemes, tropes, and analogies that you have learned. Plan to write 2 or 3 sentences per sub proof.
Also, remember that you now have a DELIBERATIVE issue. This means that you are looking forward to a decision yet to be made (deliberating) rather than looking back to judge a decision after it has been made. You will need to use your imagination to place yourself in the story at the point of the action, as if you do not yet know the outcome for certain. This change of perspective will alter your language, especially the use of verbs. You can still use information in the book that occurs after the point of decision, but avoid language that speaks as though those events have already occurred. You can say that they might occur, will likely occur, or even that they will occur, so long as your verbs are consistent with those events occurring later in the story.
Example:
"Hester should not vow to keep her husband's identity a secret. He intends to seek out and destroy her child's father. He is not to be trusted, and she will be putting her minister's well being at risk."
