Paragraph Composition

What is a Paragraph Composition? A short, focused, literary analysis on the themes and characters of the play You will be provided with a question/prompt to respond to with an argument of supporting ideas, evidence, and explanation You will have 25 minutes to write your composition

Begin with a Topic Sentence A topic sentence should include a T.A.G (Title, Author, Genre) that echoes the question/prompt. In William’s Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet… Author Genre Title

ECHO the question/prompt in your topic sentence For example, if the prompt is: Discuss how Romeo and Juliet defy gender stereotypes. You could begin your topic sentence like so: In William’s Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet defy gender stereotypes by…

P.E.E. - EXAMPLE - POINT - EXPLAIN - Try and provide three supporting ideas in your paragraph. - For each supporting idea follow this model: P.E.E. - EXAMPLE - POINT - EXPLAIN Write your point. Provide your evidence. Explain how this evidence proves your point. NOTE: Not every supporting idea can be explained entirely in one sentence, you could need two or three.

Paragraph Composition: A Summary 1. Begin with a topic sentence that contains a TAG (Title, Author, Genre) and echoes the question prompt. 2. Try to have three supporting ideas, each following the PEE model (Point, Example, Explain). Not every supporting idea will fit within one sentence, you could need two or three. 3.Use transition sentences to help demonstrate the flow of your thinking. 4. A concluding sentence offers the significance and summary of your ideas.

Potential Topics* Discuss how Romeo is in love with the idea of “love,” opposed to truly being in love with Rosaline or Juliet. Discuss how the Nurse and Friar Lawrence act as negative influences on Juliet and Romeo. Discuss how Romeo’s passion for romance proves to be an unhealthy obsession in the play. Discuss how “fate” acts as an enemy towards Romeo and Juliet. Discuss how conventions of male honour are overturned in Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. Discuss how Juliet defies gender conventions imposed on her by others. Discuss how the young adopt the beliefs of the old, and how they ignore them or fight against them. How is Tybalt’s passion is unhealthy. *I will narrow down these 6 potential topics to 3 on Tuesday Feb 17th. On Friday Feb 20th you will be provided with 2 of these 3 potential topics that you can then choose from for the paragraph composition.
