Body Paragraphs

There are two templates we worked with in class.  The basic pattern of both is:
Topic sentence
Context of evidence
Evidence
Analysis

Template 1
In Book ___, author links saying detail to doing detail to reveal inference about the passage.

The literary term from doing list offers the reader a way to interpret character from passage actions and motives.

The details of “cite words from passage” and “cite second group from passage” (pg #) imply that  interpretation of details.

This is significant because  link to larger theme in your thesis.

Template 2

Character’s action in Book ___ reveals connection to relevancy in thesis.

Character is summary of context from passage.

Embedding phrase, “details from passage”(pg#).

Detail 1 from quote shows analysis; while detail 2 shows analysis.

This is significant because link to opinion in topic sentence.

Are there other templates you have come up with and want to check?

Is it possible to use both of these templates in one essay? I'm thinking of using Template 1 for most of my body paragraphs, and then use Template 2 for the last body paragraph in each of my subgroups. Thoughts?
