What is our focus this week? ELAGSE8RL1: Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text ELAGSE8W4: Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.   ELAGSE8W9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

Writing a Literary Analysis What is textual evidence? Pulling actual evidence from the text to help prove your point or reason. Writing a Literary Analysis The paper is based on a clear thesis, and essay convincingly proves thesis. Organization is clear. The following five paragraphs are evident: introduction, 3 body paragraphs (at least!), and conclusion. Approximately 6 parenthetical citations (about 2 per body paragraph) are included correctly: Example: Mama is described as, “a large big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands” (57). Voice is strong, sentence structure is varied and smooth, and word choice is precise and appropriate for audience. Conventions are error-free.
