CP - Argument Paragraph #2

It's time to write another argument paragraph--again, we are building an important writing skill you will need not only for your essay about Life of Pi, but for much of the writing you will do in high school and college!

The question:
Is Pi's story about the pandit, the imam, and the priest true? (This story is told in Chapter 23 of Life of Pi, p. 64-70.) As you think about your answer, consider this: Can a story be true without being factual?

Use your notes from class today, the Google Presentation we went over in class, along with your notes about writing a short argument, to help you answer this question. Review the feedback you received on your first paragraph before you begin writing!

Remember:

-indicate the text you are writing about in your topic sentence

-topic sentence serves as your thesis; answer the question

-choose evidence carefully

-follow the flow of ideas we discussed in class

-adhere to rules of formal writing! (No 1st or 2nd person, use present tense, no contractions or informal language)
