Module 16.7
(two boxes to fill out)
Read the Expert Model about C.S. Lewis again.
In the FIRST box, write down words from the Expert Model that show you that the author is organizing her examples in order of importance.
- Hint: I see words/phrases like, "during college," "first," "later," and so on.
In the SECOND box, decide what order your 3 body paragraphs will go in, and tell why.
- You might want each body paragraph to be centered around a particular story about your saint, and maybe you want to keep those 3 stories in chronological order (first, second, third).
- Maybe you would like to rearrange them. This is OK. Figure out what would make the most sense to readers and place the 3 body paragraphs in that order.
