After weeks of reading about Lucy, it's time for you to write about her! Starting on Monday and finishing (hopefully) during Tuesday's classes, you will be writing your Lucy argument essay and incorporating a claim (hint - may want to use a different verb than "is"), evidence from multiple texts (you have 3 to choose from), warrants (to connect each evidence example to your claim regarding Lucy), a counterclaim (a second valid position on Lucy's character) with evidence, a rebuttal (back to that original characterization), and a conclusion. We haven't discussed it in class yet, but since you will be writing about multiple authors, your citations should include author and page number (if given). For example, (Grealy 24).
For first and third hours, make sure to read the "Hijacked by Grief" article to have another portrait of Lucy - from her sister this time. And, brainstorm a list of claims that you could make regarding "Who is the real Lucy Grealy?" Star the claim you would like to use and put a CC next to the one that will act as the counterclaim.
Fifth hour, you have started the process of writing, so that will continue next week.
