Making Claims as a Team (Tuesday)

-
Today, in AP Lit we were assigned to groups to come up with a claim that describes Troy’s ideal view of the world. My group decided that Troy’s ideal view of the world was “Maintaining Responsibilities”. We provided our claims with notable evidence from the text to create a full paragraph. We were also instructed to use an Umbrella Thesis statement, which was kind of challenging for me, but I soon after caught up with my group members. Being in groups today, challenged my team-building skills because I was able to listen to my group members for once and work together as a team to successfully construct our body paragraph.
