Composition Assignment: A Decade of Silence

Directions: Compose two paragraphs. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence of your own composition. Next, use examples from the text that you generated with a partner to support your assertion in each paragraph. Be sure to to introduce each quote by explaining where it came from, and be sure to explain HOW this quote supports your assertion, using the TIQA format that I explained in class. An example of my own is on my handout. This assignment is a quiz grade worth 100 points. Each paragraph is worth 40 points and is assessed for:

1. An original topic sentence that addresses the prompt question

2. Introductory or transitional material that segues to the quote smoothly

3. One or more quotes that support your topic sentence: are they accurate? Are they cited?

4. An explanation of why the quote supports the assertion in your topic sentence

The final twenty points of this assignment is based on whether you checked for misspelled words, comma splices, or run-on sentences. A list of work cited has been provided for you.

Paragraph one answers the question: Why was Wiesel silent for so long?

Paragraph two answers the question: Why does he break his silence, and come to believe his experience should be shared?

COMPOSE YOUR PARAGRAPHS HERE PLEASE:
