Write а Fоrmаl Respоnse Pаragraph tо "Composting" by Natalie Goldberg Now you will write a paragraph using the format we have been learning in class for formally responding to something you have read. This is not practice writing. This writing is formal, and the audience (me) expects you to follow the form we studied and to be edited for grammar and mechanics. You need the following parts to appear in the paragraph: A topic sentence that states the form and claim and introduces the title and author. A significant quote that supports the topic sentence with evidence from the reading. An explanation of the quote in your own words that connects the quote to the claim. A personal example as further evidence that helps develop the focus and claim even further.
Write the fоcus аnd the clаim оf the pаssage "Miami" in оne sentence in the box below. The focus is the main idea, and the claim is why this idea is important.
