Redefining Faith

Aim: How do we support our controlling idea with evidence and analysis?

Journal Prompt #14: Evidence and Analysis
Select either the sentence about faith you wrote yesterday or one other sentence from the class' introduction to the "Redefining Faith" reflection. Cite one piece of evidence from Night that supports that statement. Then, explain how the evidence supports that statement.

Yesterday, each class wrote an introductory paragraph for the "Redefining Faith" reflection, which is due tomorrow. You are welcome to use any or all of either paragraphs for your own reflection. Edit and add to them the way you see fit. Just remember that your body paragraph and conclusion should focus like a laser beam on whatever controlling idea is established in the introduction. It's not enough to just cite the evidence. You must consider the "So What?" factor. How does your evidence connect to your controlling idea?

As we reciprocally read today, look for more evidence to support your introductory paragraph.

The three paragraph reflection will count for 48 classwork/homework points. 

What's due:
  • "Redefining Faith" reflection
  • Loss of Faith worksheet
  • Interpretation of the differing taste of the soup. 
  • Group thematic essay. 
  • Group thematic essay evaluation. 
  • Independent reading book.
