As Kaitlin is still having challenges in preparing a multi-paragraph literary essay , we again today worked on first locating textual evidence for a claim and then incorporating the evidence into the essay. I directed Kaitlin to specific pages in the novel to assist her and additionally discussed where to insert the textual evidence. We further worked on how to form a conclusion paragraph that raises broader societal themes about life and human nature. Last, I provided additional instruction on how to prepare and approach the second essay which requires the student to take a position on a moral issue and to support their thesis from the novel , individual experience, or prior reading.
