 Distribute the Entry Task: Combining Sentences.  Work on it individually.  After a few minutes, share out your ideas on the first section  If you have not gotten to the homework section, you should do it tonight

 Distribute the Frederick Douglass Essay Planner  This is similar to the essay planners used in Modules 1 and 2  Take out your Excerpt Analysis note-catchers for Excerpts 2–5.  Remember that you gathered evidence while you read and then sifted through that evidence both in the previous lesson and for homework

 Use this time wisely to work on your essay planners and remember that you will be writing your essays tomorrow  Note that you may use direct quotes, specific examples from the text, or a combination of both, and your Excerpt Analysis note-catchers may be a good place to start  Be clear and explicit in your plans

 Distribute the Quote Sandwich and the Quote Sandwich in Action.  Refocus whole class  Remember that you learned about the Quote Sandwich in Module 2.  Take a moment to read over the Quote Sandwich and then give a thumbs-up when you can explain what it is.  Share out.

 How is the example on this worksheet is a little different from other Quote Sandwiches you have written?  “This one combines parts of the introduction with the quote,”  “This one has two interrelated quotes and one analysis after the second one.”  Remember that you want to write in a clear and logical way.  Sometimes, that means combining parts of the Quote Sandwich into one sentence

 Other times, it means varying the order of the body paragraphs.  As you get to be better writers, you will be able to write in more interesting and varied ways  As long as you have all the necessary parts clearly explained, your essays will be successful.  Direct attention to the Quote Sandwich in Action  Follow along silently as I read aloud

 Read the first paragraph and point out the organization listed in the right-hand column  Note that this corresponds to their Frederick Douglass Essay Planner  The analysis comes before the example and even though it isn’t typical, in this case, it works.  Read the second paragraph aloud and follow along.  Then, take 2 minutes to answer the question in the right-hand column.  Share out

 Write a Quote Sandwich for one of your pieces of evidence or your introduction.  I will provide you with feedback on your Quote Sandwich, so you should choose whichever option would benefit the most from teacher feedback
