To begin, I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I am on page 181. In these chapters, Scout and Dill are sneaking into the trial of Tom Robinson. Atticus does everything he can to defend Tom and many valuable pieces of evidence are brought up. In this journal, I will be predicting.

G This sentence is indented. Include a transitional word or phrase, your first sentence should say what literary strategy you will be analyzing in this journal.
Y Include a transitional word or phrase, this sentence needs to be your

first point.
R This needs to be a detail/example supporting your first point.

Not simply a plot recall summary, but this sentence should be a specific reason that backs up your first yellow. After your first “R”, you should have at least TWO more sentences supporting that sentence or analyzing deeper.
R Introduce this sentence with a transition. This needs to be another detail supporting your first point. Next, add TWO to THREE detailed sentences of ANALYSIS explaining how that “R” connects to your first yellow also.
R Introduce this sentence with a wrap-up transition. This needs to be another detail supporting your first point. Next, add TWO to THREE detailed sentences of ANALYSIS explaining how that “R” connects to your first yellow also.
(There is no space here, but I have it here to show that you are focusing on something separate. In your paragraph there will be no space.)
Y This sentence should be introduced with a transition followed by a comma. It should also briefly mention your first yellow and explain how this point connects.
R This needs to be a detail/example supporting your second point. Not simply a plot recall summary, but this sentence should be a specific reason that backs up your second yellow. After your first “R”, you should have at least TWO more sentences supporting that sentence or analyzing

deeper.
R Introduce this sentence with a transition. This needs to be another detail supporting your first point. Next, add TWO to THREE detailed sentences of ANALYSIS explaining how that “R” connects to your second yellow also.
R Introduce this sentence with a wrap-up transition. This needs to be another detail supporting your first point. Next, add TWO to THREE detailed sentences of ANALYSIS explaining how that “R” connect to your second yellow also.
G Add a final wrap-up transition with a comma to introduce this sentence. This last sentence should restate your first green and say how it is or isn’t true based on your evidence for your first and second yellow.

Indent your concluding paragraph where you score yourself out of a 10. DO NOT say you deserve a certain score because you “worked hard” that is not a specific reason. Hint: if I were you I would avoid saying I deserve a 10 out of 10. That is not realistic and it makes me think that you do not have a growth mindset or believe you can improve.
Hope this helps!
