What did we do today, Phipp?

In Honors, we took the DAY OFF! :) We did a Crime & Puzzlement called "Steak Out" and discussed claim, warrant, and evidence. We also looked at Schaffer paragraphs (from the Prezi).
You are writing a Schaffer paragraph about your book. You can make any claim about your book you like, but it must be supported by direct evidence. (See below for ALL the things we looked at in class--the triangle, the Prezi).
This is due TUESDAY when you come to class. 

In regular English 10, we finished Witness for the Prosecution. The end was AWESOME!!
Then we discussed the Schaffer paragraph. 

You needed to write THIS paragraph:
