We're getting into revision, preparing to write our final essay. The essay prompt will be: Explain three effects of Phineas Gage's accident. Be sure to include evidence from both texts that help show these effects in detail.

Today, Lesson 14 found us looking at a sample paper - response to nonfiction. We looked at the lead, the introduction, the claim, evidence, direct quotes, and the conclusion. We then looked back at the prompt from Lesson 13, and noticed where students bracketed their own writing. We then added more detail and another direct quote from the book or article for the revision assignment.
