Body Paragraph 3 with Citation and Works-Cited Refresh

Teacher reads body 3 from a sample essay. Children identify TEEL bands and citation form.

• Read aloud
• Ask for TEEL band names
• Ask for citation form (signal vs. parenthetical)

Today you draft BODY PARAGRAPH 3 with citation AND refresh your works-cited list. Body 3 uses TEEL like body 1 and 2, but the LINK sentence is the CULMINATING link of the three reasons — often a 'taken together' phrasing. Watch teacher draft body 3 on verse-form-memoir with parenthetical citation. TOPIC: 'Third, the rhythm of recurring three-line stanzas matches the natural breath of recollection.' EVIDENCE: 'Three-line stanzas appear at moments of remembering across the memoir — for example pages 24, 86, and 132 (Woodson 2014).' EXPLANATION: 'The repeated three-beat pattern mirrors how memory actually surfaces — in pulses, not in continuous paragraphs.' LINK: 'Taken with pace and pause, this rhythmic match is the third and perhaps deepest reason verse form works for memoir.' Notice: parenthetical citation here, not signal-phrase. Variety across paragraphs. Now refresh the works-cited list. Two G5 entries continued from G4 format. Woodson, Jacqueline. Brown Girl Dreaming. Nancy Paulsen Books, 2014. [italicized title]. McKissack, Patricia. Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman? Scholastic, 1992. [italicized title]. Alphabetize by author last name (McKissack before Woodson because M before W). Hanging indent in typed work (first line flush left, subsequent lines indented).

• Notice: alphabetization happens by author LAST name. Hanging indent is a typed-work convention — handwritten work just uses normal indent.
