Journal - Take 10-15 minutes to write in your journals, QUIETLY!
Theme or Compare/Contrast essays - Decide on your thesis (claim) and write. Include three reasons why this thesis is true. Remember to include a brief summary of your story.
Pages/videos to consult: Themes, Theme Essay Format, Theme video - how to whittle down a large theme to a universal statement.
This is dry bones time.
Just write your essay in simple, direct language first.
Over the weekend, you may add pep to your piece by writing a lead that will grab the reader. While you are in the phase of revising, keep a thesaurus at your side for words that elevate your voice, like important: significant, consequential, momentous, weighty, far-reaching, major, grave; urgent, pressing, crucial, critical, vital, life-and-death, high-priority.
