Here a few sites on theme that may serve you well over break.
I have given you many sheets on theme. Do not forget that it is a life lesson you are looking for . Name it, simplify it to a word or two. Then attach three reasons why this theme is present. These reasons are to become your topic sentences for your body paragraphs.
See your "Theme Essay Format" page. This is a helpful guide. Once it is filled out, begin writing your essay.
DO NOT FORGET: Balance summarizing, quoting, and story-telling in your essay. Use these techniques to add evidence.
Read Ms. Taylor's version - "Parachute," it is OK to steal phrases from her essay.
Have a wonderful vacation!
