OBJECTIVE

DO NOW: What do you want to learn for the mid-term?

Lesson: Review how you can connect essay ideas to formulate a cohesive essay

Example: From Macbeth Group work: Groups will come up with 3-5

pieces of text evidence Share out: 10 minutes Exit pass: Do you have any other concerns

about the mid-term?

AGENDA

Make sure you stick to your claim/thesis Make sure you claim says what you intend

on defending/proving Connect each text with a transition

sentence—try to use a sentence rather than one word

Connect all texts in the conclusion Make comparisons between texts when

possible

How to write a cohesive essay

Include your textual evidence in the form of SPECIFIC DETAILS you choose to paraphrase

Read over your essay and make sure you fully prove your claim

Did you summarize or stick to developing your theme?

This is not a book report –DON’T SUMMARIZE EACH BOOK WITH NO DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR CLAIM

Lesson continued..

Check spelling, grammar, fragments, and run-on sentences

Be specific—generalization will receive a point deduction

The essay should be NO LESS than 5 paragraphs possibly more

Be sure to include a strong opening and conclusion

Lesson continued

Example: Macbeth—POWER, CORRUPTION, AND LEADERSIP

Upon hearing Malcolm will become king after Duncan, Macbeth struggles with the concept of becoming king. He tells Duncan to his face he is honored to be fighting for him; however, internally he is realizing that in order to become king Macbeth will need to get rid of both Duncan and Malcolm.

This shows Macbeth’s desire for power and leadership which leads him down a path of corruption because he feels compelled to act on what the witches told him.

REPEAT 4 MORE TIMES FOR EACH TEXT—YOU MAY USE QUOTES BUT REMEMBER YOU NEED TO KNOW THEM FOR THE EXAM

Each group will share 3-5 pieces of evidence for their text

Is there further you need for the mid-term? How can you connect the texts in your

essay?
