1. ACC Analysis Paragraph Revisions and Final Draft
From your category 1 option

2. Category One Analysis Paragraph
Now that you have completed your in class writing assignment, you will type a final draft of your category one analysis paragraph.
You MUST type a final draft for the analysis paragraph, but if you have time you may also type the personal response.
You will type your new draft in Google Docs or Pages app to be printed out later. Don’t worry about finishing in class today, you will have time to work on this after you finish the vocabulary quiz tomorrow.
Category One Analysis Paragraph

3. When you revise and type your paragraph
Be sure your new paragraph is different than your previous one. I am looking for changes (revisions) you make when I grade your new paragraph. This is not a “recopy” of your current paragraph that you wrote in class.
Even if you feel you did “good enough” on your topic sentence or evidence or analysis, etc., you will want to make appropriate changes to create an even stronger analysis paragraph.
The things you did not fulfill, or do well, you want to make sure you are changing (revising) also.
You do need to add a lead in sentence(s) to introduce your evidence/quote. To challenge yourself, you may add in another piece of evidence, but you want to make sure you include another lead-in for it and separate analysis. You may also change your current quote to better support your claim if you feel it is not a solid piece of evidence.
Add in analysis if you had none or DEEPEN your analysis. Make sure you are getting to the important analysis- NO PLOT SUMMARY!
Be sure to check for proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, no dead words or dead word phrases, change up your sentence structure. Do this after you have finished typing- often times we don’t notice our errors while we are typing.
When you revise and type your paragraph

4. Don’t Forget Everything included in this paragraph (I suggest you also look back at any handouts or Power Points previously given to you in ebackpack):
Topic Sentence
Lead in sentence #1 (introduce your evidence)
Evidence (quote)
Analysis
Lead in sentence #2 (only if you’re doing a second piece of evidence)
Evidence (2nd piece)
Concluding sentence

5. Remember, you need to explain how the piece of evidence supports your claim and why is it important? Why does it matter to the bigger claim (an idea/character)? Why is this important to everyone?
Answering these questions help to deepen your analysis and get to the most important analysis.
If you cannot answer these questions, then rethink your evidence. You most likely do not have a strong piece of evidence if you cannot answer these questions.
Deepen analysis

6. Lead in sentence examples
You must introduce your evidence before your write your evidence.
Context/Lead-in Sentences: Introduce your evidence by revealing what is happening (in a scene/event) and/or who is referenced in the evidence. This gives context for your evidence. This may be one or two sentences at most or even just part of a sentence. This depends on the explanation within the evidence.
Examples:
Cassie befriended Lillian Jean by carrying her books to school, gaining her trust, and learning her secrets. After beating her up in a secluded part of the woods, Lillian Jean asked Cassie why she did that, and she “stared at her astonished… not wanting to believe that Lillian Jean didn’t even realize it had all been just a game”( ).
Mrs. Peacock demonstrates her arrogance when she tells Walt, “‘don’t look me in the eyes!’” (7).
Lulu’s class offers to bring in fruit, and Bobo argues that “’everyone should bring in candy instead’” (327).
