Journal 20: TIED Paragraph Notes & Practice
Using the questions from Chapter 9, transform two of the J19 answers into TIED paragraph format. Then highlight the four parts. 

Topic Sentences	T: The topic sentences lets the reader know what your subject is and what you are going to prove.  Never use "I" or talk about the essay/paragraph in this sentence.
Introduce Evidence	I: After the topic sentence, you should introduce  the context of your evidence (or quote).
Evidence          (this could be a quote           or logical reasoning)	E: In a Literary Response essay (the type we are working on), this is the quote that demonstrates your point.
Discuss (aka commentary)	D: You must discuss how the evidence is important in proving your argument as stated in the Topic sentence or Thesis. (This element ties the paragraph into a circular unit in which the topic sentence is effectively proven with evidence and author commentary.)
