Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Today, we discussed how to write a critical/analytical five paragraph essay. I provided a handout of it (in your portfolio and on goldenrod paper for easy retrieval). I then provided you with questions on the essay "Dimensions of a Complete Life” which are listed below and due for tomorrow. Please do these right on the page:

1. Read the essay provided.
On the pages, identify:
the thesis,
main points,
evidence used to support the main points,
one analogy,
one allusion,
one command sentence

2. Who is his audience (write that somewhere on the pages)
3. What is his tone? (write that somewhere on the pages)
4. On the back, answer the following question: Do you agree with
King’s idea? Explain how you agree/disagree.
