Blue Book Tomorrow!

Tomorrow's blue book essay requires you to view Butterflies through one of the lenses that we covered in class. In class today, students worked on the thesis planning sheet (the only resource you may use during the blue book tomorrow).

If you did not get my approval for your thesis (including those who were absent today), craft a thesis, assuming that I will approve. Then, gather your evidence on the back of the sheet (or on the 2nd sheet if you're printing from Edline). In this case you probably want many more than 4 quotes. Hopefully any issues with your thesis will involve wording of the sentence, itself, and will be resolved quickly as we look at your evidence and ideas together at the beginning of the period tomorrow.

**If you were absent today, please print the 3/17 Blue Book Thesis Worksheet from Edline. Fill it out as much as you can before you come to class tomorrow. Ideally, you want to be able to start writing immediately.
