    This work must be ready to turn in at the very beginning of the period--so print it out BEFORE class.
     
    Please also type up the two pieces of textual evidence that you will use in your paper.
    I just need the exact piece of evidence, so that I can think about whether your claim makes sense--so I can see if you are headed in the right direction.
     
    A strong introduction has:
    1. a claim/an argument/a thesis
    2. a discussion of the claim/argument/ thesis
    3. background information that is pertinent
    to the claim/argument/ thesis
    4. a discussion of the topic, if the topic
    referred to is complex
     
    You can decide in which order these elements should appear--you could "hourglass" or "pyramid" or "funnel."

    Tony Vuong already did a book talk on Tuesday for a book he read over break: nice job Tony!
     
    2. Bring ALL your Much Ado stuff: play and all your notes about the paper--we are going to get writing...
     
     
    If you missed class, you need to write a 300-plus word typed response to your assigned poem.
