Monday, October 30th



Today we will finish any stations that you haven't finished.

We will decide on the story you'd like to write about for your literary analysis essay. Here are your choices:

"Through the Tunnel"
"Thank  you , Ma'am"
"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"
"Fishcheeks"
We will take notes on what to include in the introduction of a  literary analysis.  

Introduction: (~6-7 sentences) 

1. A hook – begin with a general idea related to your thesis (2-3 sentences) 
2. Transition to the book; what does this general idea have to do with the book and your main idea in this essay?
3. TAG-title, author, and genre
 4. Transition to your thesis – what are you going to argue that this book proves 

I will write an example for you as you watch. I will use "Three Skeleton Key" since that is not one of your options. 

You will write your introduction.
