What you read today

Essay Voyage, pages 45–50 — the chapter Unity.

This lesson's text is the book itself. Your teacher has the pages; read them with the class, then do the work on your sheet.

Remember
Read it as a writer: not only what happens, but what the author did to make it happen that way.
Ask yourself: “If I deleted this sentence, would the paragraph lose anything?”

Remember

One paragraph, one idea — and everything in it serving that idea.
