Three brothers meet in a small coffee shop to discuss their inheritance from their recently departed grandfather.

Since I don't know what specific paragraphs, here's a template

TOPIC:

Topic Sentence

-What is this paragraph

going to be about?

This is your thesis statement/the focus of what

your paragraph will be about. 1 sentence

Introduce Textual

Evidence

-set up what your evidence

is going to be

This section lets readers know about what is

happening in the story (prior to you citing your

evidence). This section should be no more than 2

sentences.

Cite textual

Evidence -insert evidence correctly

(quotations/page number)

Cite your evidence properly. This should be an

actual example from the text placed in quotes with

the page number (no more than 3 sentences)

Explain/ analyze

textual evidence

-What does this citation

mean?

- How does this

passage/citation relate to

my topic sentence/thesis.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST SECTION. You must

restate what the quote/citation means. Then you

write your analysis: How does this relate to your

topic sentence- explain your understanding of the

text in 3-4 sentences.

Concluding Sentence

-Conclude the paragraph and

give readers an idea to what the

next paragraph will be about.

Restate your main point and make sure it connects

to your topic sentence.
