OREO Strategy When writing and you have a text in front of you—a good way to construct your paragraphs is by— O- Offering your opinion in a clear topic sentence R- Refer to a line or a quote from the work to give an example E- Explain the quote in your own words and tell how the line proves your original point O-Offer an overall statement that summarizes your point and connects it to something else in literature, life etc.
PAPER STRUCTURE (oresreo?) • Claim (O-opinion) • Evidence(Refer to a quote/line in passage that supports you) • Elaboration(Explain your quote and how it supports your point of view) • State the Counterclaim(Some people might think that… Some could say…) • Evidence (Refer to a quote/line in passage that REFUTES that evidence) • Elaboration (Explain your quote and how it refutes the other side) • Conclude (Offer an overall statement that summarizes your point or connects to some other literature or to life)
Example: • Richard’s mother punished him appropriately for the crime. The text says that Richard’s little brother said, “Don’t do that,” when he began burning the broom straws. In addition, Richard himself stated, “There was only my picture book and my mother would beat me if I burned that.” Both of these pieces of evidence show that Richard knew that his actions were wrong before he burned anything. Some people might say that his mother should not have punished a four-year-old so severely. However, the text says, “The screams came louder. I saw the image of my grandmother lying helplessly upon her bed and there were yellow flames in her black hair. Was my mother afire? Would my brother burn?” These thoughts occur to Richard when he hides under the house. Although he worries about his family members, during this entire time, he does not climb out from underneath the house to ensure their safety. He thinks only of himself and the whipping he might receive. He, therefore, risks the life of his entire family out of selfishness. This punishment is appropriate because Richard risked the lives of everyone in his family, and his punishment justly puts his life in danger.
