Short Answer Questions for Thursday, Dec 6th.

Short answer questions should be viewed as mini-essay questions. Your brainstorming and outlining should be the same. Here an outline for outlining (hehehe):

Outlining

1) Thesis statement: Make sure this statement is well-written, strong, direct, and states
your purpose for writing the essay.

a) Second Sentence: A detail or fact that reinforces your thesis statement.

i) Third Sentence: Evidence that reinforces your second sentence.

ii) Fourth Sentence: Evidence that reinforces your second sentence.

b) Fifth Sentence: A detail or fact that reinforces your thesis statement.

i) Sixth Sentence: Evidence that reinforces your fifth sentence.

ii) Seventh Sentence: Evidence that reinforces your fifth sentence.

Your short answer questions (and yes, you do need to brainstorm and outline each one before you write it) for today are:

1. What does Huck think about religion?
2. What role does superstition play in the novel?
3. "They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it" -Huck Finn- Write a response to this quote.

Good luck!
