Outline RemindersWhile your outline asks for the page and paragraph

number of the evidence, you will ONLY WRITE THE PAGE NUMBER in parentheses at the end of the sentence in your paper.◦ The paragraph number in the outline is for your reference

to find the evidence easily.You must use AT LEAST 5 pieces of QUOTED

TEXTUAL evidence from EACH story.Since you are aiming for 800-1,000 words, you need

to have more EXPLANATION than evidence.◦ You must explain HOW the quoted evidence represents

the literary element (character, theme, conflict, or mood).◦ You must explain the CONNECTION between each piece of

quoted evidence and your thesis.◦ You must explain HOW the evidence relates to the aspect

of community.
