English 10

Tonight, complete #11 on the question sheet for "The Doll's House".  It asks you to write a well-structured paragraph (8-12 sentences) that argues whether the story is optimistic (hopeful) or pessimistic (hopeless).
Remember the format for an argumentative paragraph is as follows:

1. Topic sentence:  state your argument (also include the author, title, and genre)
2. Point #1:  explain your first supporting idea in 2-3 sentences.
3. Point #2:   explain your second supporting idea in 2-3 sentences.
4. Point #3: explain your third supporting idea in 2-3 sentences.
5. Concluding sentence: restate your argument.
