Evidence! Evidence! Evidence! Everything we do comes back to your ability to find evidence to support your claim. When I say "everything we do" I'm not talking about us in language arts class. I'm talking about everyone in the world and what we are trying to accomplish.
You want a new car? You need to give Dad evidence as to why you deserve one.
You want to spend the night at a friend's? You need to give evidence as to why you should be allowed.
You want to go to college in California instead of in Bloomington? You better have good supporting reasons.
You want a girl to go out with you? You better have give her good reasons to agree.
You want to convince me that a character in a story is ambitious? You better have evidence.
That's what we spent today doing with"The Treasure of Lemon Brown" and Lemon Brown and Greg. That's what you will be doing tomorrow as you discuss the theme of the story. Not all evidence works. Find the right evidence.
Tomorrow we will travel to the IMC for fiction books after you find out about your new project. Can't wait to share.
See you soon.
