Your turn! You are going to write a paragraph today, but you get to pick which topic you are going to use. Here are your two options: Option A: Which theme best fits with “maggie and milly and molly and may? Support with at least two pieces of evidence and one is an ICE quote. Option B: What word best describes the tone of “maggie and milly and molly and may? Support with at least two pieces of evidence and one is an ICE quote. Remember: “I.C.E.” is an acronym that stands for Introduce Cite Explain Check out the example below, noting that each color goes with its appropriate part of the acronym: Johnny shows that he is always thinking of others when he says, “Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold” (150). This proves that Johnny is thoughtful since he is moments away from death, but still cares enough about Ponyboy to give a last piece of advice.

Sample ICE Quote Paragraph: The best theme that can be seen in The Outsiders is that people are the same underneath, even if they come from different backgrounds. This can be seen when Cherry tells Ponyboy that things are rough all over (55). Through this comment, she is letting Ponyboy know that even though she is wealthy and has a great future ahead of her, she still has problems. Perhaps the best example of this theme is seen when Cherry and Ponyboy are talking in the parking lot. Ponyboy asks Cherry if she can seen the sunset on the west side. When she responds, he answers, “You can see it from the east side, too” (99). The quote shows that Ponyboy has realized that even though they are from two different classes, they both feel emotions and see the same things in life. These two examples show that the theme, people are the same underneath, even if they come from different backgrounds, is a strong theme for this book.

Your paragraph 1.Locate the paragraph that was assigned to you as homework. 2.Copy and paste the paragraph into a Google Doc (if you have not already). 3.Name the Google Doc, “ICE 1.” Color code your ICE quote like this: Introduce Cite Explain Johnny shows that he is always thinking of others when he says, “Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold” (150). This proves that Johnny is thoughtful since he is moments away from death, but still cares enough about Ponyboy to give a last piece of advice. 4.Save the file and exit.
