Use the words of the question in your response. –Use your mind, not your feelings. –If the question has a quotation, focus on it. –If the question does not have a quotation, find an appropriate one and focus on it instead. –Always, always stay focused and stay textual. Introduction that narrows to a thesis, citing any fact used, then body paragraphs on our paragraph plan of main idea/topic sentence quote from the reading analysis (how and why your main idea and quote come together to support your ideas)…and then conclusion. Remember, too, to cite in full MLA format, so cite all facts and quotes, and be sure to include a works cited.
