Compose a body paragraph using the CLAIM-EVIDENCE-WARRANT (CEW) routine

Write a 5-7 sentence body paragraph that follows CEW: CLAIM names the paragraph's analytical claim about the text; EVIDENCE supplies an embedded direct quotation with citation; WARRANT explains HOW the evidence supports the claim — the 'because' move that connects evidence to claim. The WARRANT is what separates analytical writing from plot summary. Extends G5-fall's TEEL into analytical mode.

Common misconceptions

WARRANT collapses into restatement ('This shows that resilience is shown' — circular; doesn't explain HOW).
Drops EVIDENCE and skips to WARRANT; or includes quote but no warrant — evidence stands alone unexplained.
