Topic Sentence-Statement that clarifies your focus for the paragraph
SEE Set-Statement/example/explanation of your 1st piece of evidence
SEE Set-Statement/example/explanation of your 2nd piece of evidence
Concluding Sentence-Commentary that ties these SEE sets back to your topic sentence.

In 1 paragraph (explanatory), respond to the following prompt:
Identify 1 heroic trait displayed by Beowulf and explain how this trait was pivotal to his success in the epic (you must use textual evidence to show where/how Beowulf displays this heroic trait).

5. AFTER YOU CHOOSE A TRAIT…
Gather EVIDENCE (and be careful to mark down the LINE NUMBERS for your parenthetical citations) EXAMPLE: “Beowulf arose, with his men [a]round him, ordering a few to remain” ( ).
