     Step 2:             The central idea of TITLE, by author, is …
     Step 3: Writing strategy/Literary device of your choice helps to
    communicate…
     Step 4:             Make an arguable claim/thesis about how the author uses the
    element, technique or device to support the central idea of the text. (Example:
    Writing strategy develops the central idea because it conveys…
    B.     Supporting Paragraph:
     Step 1:             Write a topic sentence: For example: The central idea of the text
    is supported by the author’s utilization of writing strategy/lit device of your
    choice.
     Step 2:             Include a quotation/textual examples to support your claim.
     Step 3:             Provide an explanation/analysis of your text-based example and
    how it works to support the central idea of the text.
     You must repeat steps 2 and 3 so that you have provided 2 – 3 examples of how the
    element/technique/device supports the central idea. Use transitions like furthermore,
    additionally, also, too, as well (For example: Furthermore, the central idea is reinforced
    when… OR Moreover, writing strategy/lit device of your choice
    affirms/illustrates/establishes, or expresses…).
     Step 4: Provide a thoughtful and insightful concluding sentence.

     Step 2:             Insightful sentence referring to author’s purpose
     Step 3:             Reworded sentence that refers to the central idea and the writing
    strategy/lit device that develops the central idea  

    REMINDERS:
     Make sure you “ICE” quotes. Instead of including page numbers, you’ll refer to
    line numbers. QUOTES NEVER STAND ALONE!
     DO NOT USE YOU, YOUR, WE, US, ME, I, ETC.
     Write about only ONE central idea and ONE writing strategy but support with 2-
    3 pieces of evidence.
