Reflection+Parts

Always use present tense verbs when discussing literature or articles. Introduction: Body paragraph 1: Body paragraph 2: Conclusion:
 * Begin with a grabber; title of book (italicized) and author; genre; transition to a brief summary of characters, conflict, setting; end with a claim about your book (attitude toward the book.)**
 * Transition from claim to first topic sentence that supports your claim; provide some context for the first quote you choose to illustrate your ideas about your topic sentence; give the quote and end it with the page number: example: "They cage animals at night here" (8).**
 * Explain how the quote supports your topic sentence; transition to a second quote context and repeat what you did on the first quote example**
 * Repeat what you did for one but with new topic sentence that supports your claim and new examples and explanations.**
 * Transition from body paragraph 2 to conclude how this book helps you understand conflict, courage, identity.**
