• Consider the unit question, "What idea does the author develop regarding self-discovery?"
• Use either Jonathan OR Mark (not both!) to develop your response to this question.

Write a detailed paragraph, set up in the following manner: (NEXT)

• New idea - answer the question and provide a statement of theme (thesis) for the paragraph
• Evidence - provide evidence in the form of a strong quotation or paraphrase from the story to support your statement
• eXplanation - explain how the detail you have chosen proves your thesis to be true
• Evidence - provide evidence in the form of a strong quotation or paraphrase from the story to support your statement
• eXplanation - explain how the detail you have chosen proves your thesis to be true
• Evidence - provide evidence in the form of a strong quotation or paraphrase from the story to support your statement
• eXplanation - explain how the detail you have chosen proves your thesis to be true
• Transition - provide a transition from this paragraph to the next (For the purpose of U2L1, write a concluding sentence, instead of a transitional one.)

Your paragraph, then, will follow the "principle of thirds" - you create a statement, and then provide three pieces of evidence to support it, evidence for which you provide explanations.

Follow this method when you are writing the body paragraphs of a literary essay - at least three paragraphs each with a topic statement developing the thesis, followed by three sets of evidence and explanations, and concluding with a transition into the next body paragraph.
