Today I stamped the work you did in your journal over the weekend and had you add line references, citing evidence from Chevrefoil for each "rule of courtly love" you found evidence for. We collected the rules on the whiteboard, and you did a good job of defining courtly love based on the story of Tristan and Iseult.
We reviewed the structure of the expository paragraph (thesis, evidence or support, analysis (explaining the connection between the support and the thesis) and concluding sentence. We agreed that for a strong paragraph, you would need at least two pieces of evidence.
Your assignment: Write an expository paragraph taking a stand on the following issue: Is our modern view of romance influenced by the medieval tradition of courtly love, yes or no?
Write your paragraph and submit it to turnitin.com....we will be doing a peer review assignment on Thursday in the lab, but your paragraph must be submitted by tomorrow.
