Using the ACE paragraph format, choose one theme and one essential question to write about. You will need to write 4-5 paragraphs. You will need to incorporate four quotes of your choice to support
your answer. Your grade will be determined by how well you follow the paragraph format, and
support your theme and answer to your essential question with textual evidence, and your analysis of
the theme and quote. This should follow traditional essay format: intro paragraph, 2-3 body
paragraphs, and a conclusion. This is timed and needs to be submitted by the end of the hour. I know
these will be rough since they are timed, however, I expect you to do you best work.
