This week we’re working on body paragraphs.

This week we’re working on body paragraphs. Click on the link above for a paragraph template.

Make this initial post by Thursday 6/20

Post One: Answer both sections A & B in your initial post.

After reading Chapter 4 in The Norton Sampler (pp. 51-62), share something you learned about paragraphs and how you might use it in your writing.

In “Mother Tongue” (pp. 234-241 in The Norton Sampler), Tan uses several strategies (classification, narration, description, argument) for organizing her paragraphs. Cite one paragraph from the story and identify the strategy Tan uses. Give specific examples from the text to support your answer.

Post Two: Respond to one of your peer’s posts by commenting on their understanding of paragraph writing and their selection from the reading of “Mother Tongue.” You may also note corrections in grammar and style to help your peer. Acceptable peer responses will, among other things:

Explicitly identify what was learned from someone else’s work.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Post an initial response to both parts of Post 1.

Post a response to one of your peers.

Post on two different days.

Length: Post 1= 250 words minimum. Two paragraphs of 5- 7 sentences each. Post 2= 150 words

Post your word count at the end of your post.

Use quotations from the literature to support your points.
