Hi there! as you asked for in the title, I'll create an outline for you.
When writing your body paragraphs, it's best to start out with a sentence that relates to your thesis (to give a good flow and show relevancy. mentally prep the reader to lead into what ur about to say so it connects)
and then give evidence, commentary, evidence, commentary and then sum it up. You don't have to give two pieces of evidence. Just put as much evidence u need to support your claim that backs up the thesis and then summarize the last sentence.
keep ur thesis vague so you're able to make claims to back it up
INTRO:
(hook: 1-2 sentences) (background: 1-2 sentences) (THESIS: only one sentence)
BODY PARAGRAPHS(3):
(claim that supports your thesis) (evidence to support your claim) (commentary) (summarize your claim)
OUTRO:
(RESTATE UR THESIS. maybe reword it) (summarize ur claims) (outro sentence. maybe reference your hook)
there are many different ways you can end your outro. as the end of your comment stated, you could even do something called a full circle. It references the hook and gets the reader to think about everything they just read. puts a nice bow on the top
another traditional method (make sure you don't overuse)
is to ask the reader a question. Like after you put your restated thesis and summarized points you'd ask a question to get your reader to continue thinking about the topic.
if you need inspo, you can always look up sample essays and see how people word things like intros and outros.
also for your thesis, I wouldn't use what the teacher put. if you're wanting to go all out, it looks much better (and is much more impressive) to use your own original thesis and not the teacher's example.
Write your thesis before you get your evidence and quotes. it's much easier.
Don't forget what you're writing about either:
historical
feminist
cultural
From the first few chunks of text, it looks like this is an analytical essay. you're looking at this play from a few different perspectives.
In your intro you could even mention that this play is unique, introducing feministic elements which is pretty uncommon.
For your thesis you could say that Shakespeare's Othello contains unique and distinct elements that follow historical, feministic, and cultural perspectives
or something. I wouldn't use "othello can be analyzed" because "can" is kinda odd. you're doing it through the essay so of course it can be done. it's bland word choice and basic. purposely vague because it's the teacher's example.
when you're looking for your evidence, make sure you do so after forming your thesis. it's easier to do it that way than the other way around.
Make sure you also use what the teacher said as a guide. If she wants you to use certain points to support the prompt, you should.
I'd say the best way to go about this is to brainstorm. Take the prompts for the evidence examples and think about the whole story. What time in this story would best fit this point?
Our minds tend to remember the more important things or things we think we'll need for later. If something stood out to you, you'll be more inclined to remember it.
So take whatever comes to mind and try and track it down in the script.
"XYZ happened between ABC and DEF. ABC was in chapter 2 and DEF was in chapter 4 so XYZ is between there" if u need help locating that's a good way to figure it out. Guesstimating from major points in the plot.
So when you're trying to find something that'll suit the prompt, try narrowing it down to a good quote. And if you need a reference, talk to the teacher, look online or ask a friend.
I hope this helps. sorry I wrote a lot
