Writing
Workshop: Thematic Essay
There
are at least three ideas or themes that are developing in Bodega Dreams: dreams,
loyalty, and change (self-reinvention.) This week you will be writing a
thematic essay, paragraph by paragraph. On Friday, you were asked to choose one of these ideas (or any other theme you
see developing) and write a reflection on this idea off the top of your head. That paragraph should form the thesis or main idea of the essay you will be writing this week.
Today,
write one body paragraph supporting the thesis you wrote Friday, using specific
and relevant evidence from the text. If this means you have to go back to
re-write or tweak your original thesis, then by all means do so.
