1) Create a document in your shared google folder called "Bradbury Paragraph". Type up paragraph based on your work last class and the thesis you constructed for homework. 2) Looking at the sample (half) paragraph on the back of the Thesis Workshop handout from last class, work through the TISAS steps based on the list on the front of the worksheet. 3) TLC: Tag, Lead, Citation--this is our acronym for integrating quotes all year. Each quote needs to be linked to your writing so that it works as a complete sentence. As you work your writing into the quote, make sure you've identified who/what is being discussed in the quote (tag), the context of the quote within the story (lead), and that you've cited the quote properly with the page number at the end. See the sample paragraph for an example of proper punctuation. 4) Once you've put your paragraph together, color-mark a copy of your work using the guide below to show that you have all the parts of a TISAS paragraph:

TISAS Color-Mark: PART ONE: Color-Mark: TISAS Topic Sentence/Thesis · Underline the author/s name · Bold the theme/big idea the literary device reveals Highlight Blue : Introduction to Evidence · Does this sentence link the idea in your topic sentence to the quote that you will integrate/analyze? Highlight Red: Evidence (quote) · Underline the tag(s) · Bold the lead/context · Italicize the linking verb · Is this correctly cited with page number or line number? Highlight Purple: Analysis · Do you have at least 2-3 sentences of analysis per quote? · Is your analysis an explanation of how the meaning of the quote proves your topic sentence? · Does your analysis contain any unnecessary summary?

Common error checklist: As you edit look for… 1)Avoid first and second person aka “you,” “I think,” “me,” etc. 3)Watch for possession error: Bittering’s wife thinks, the Martians’ culture 4)Careful to avoid run-ons and fragments:  Wishing he’d brought his umbrella
 * DO use “one thinks,” “the reader realizes,” “this shows us/the reader”
 * Run-on: combination of two full sentences without a connection (conjunction, semicolon, or connecting phrase)
 * Fragment: an incomplete thought that cannot stand alone as a sentence.
 * Ex.: Makes it hard for her to understand her cultural background.

It is hard for her to understand her cultural background without her mother’s stories.
 * Fixed: Without her mother’s stories, it makes it hard for her to understand her cultural background

HW: In the document called Bradbury Paragraph in your folder make sure you have a color-marked copy of your paragraph and a clean copy with no color marks. These paragraphs should have identical writing, but one has color-marks and the other doesn't. This document is due (in your folder) next time I see you.
