Please write the 3 body paragraphs of your essay, including the quotes! Don’t worry too much about formatting the quotes correctly; we’ll deal with that tomorrow.

Essay brainstorm due at the end of class tomorrow. Tonight, I suggest focusing on the body paragraphs and maybe the quotation oval. Don’t worry about working on the intro and conclusion boxes this evening — you’ll have a work day tomorrow in class.
