We began working on the TORSO today in order to successfully outline our "transitions" essay. We discussed the brainstorming we completed in our notebooks last night and modeled good topic sentences. In addition, we identified three school changes and listed examples of how all three changes have taken place since fourth grade. Tonight, we are to expected to thoughtfully complete the TORSO up to but not including the fifth paragraph. Tomorrow, we will begin constructing our fifth paragraph and establishing the FCA's for this and future long compositions.
