*Remember taking notes on the CAB style Thesis?
  Add these notes to those: This is the TIED way to 
  write a body paragraph.

T opic Sentences	T: The topic sentences lets the reader know what your subject is and what you are going to prove.  If you are introducing a second or third piece of evidence in the middle of the paragraph, then the T becomes a transition.
I introduce Evidence	I: After the topic sentence, you should introduce your evidence or reasoning.
E vidence          (this could be a quote           or logical reasoning)	E: Make sure you explain everything the reader needs to know about your evidence or reason.
D iscuss (aka commentary)	D: You must discuss how the evidence is important and how it proves your argument.

Each letter in TIED does not necessarily need its own sentence; it just needs to be present in the paragraph. 

Example from Lord of the Flies

Simon makes it clear that the boys are no longer thinking in a logical way. After Sam and Eric find the beast, he reasons out the probability of the beast they described.“Simon felt a flicker of incredulity-a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric” (103). Simon's thoughts show how illogical this so-called beast is because it really should have been more deadly if the boys' description had been true.

*HW: Use any of your Ch.8 questions OR one of your two discussion questions. Write and submit two TIED paragraphs.
