Tonight we reviewed .......... Rising actions.  You must have at least 3 rising actions that lead to the Climax.

Here is the outline to the essay we will write on Monday.  If you still have questions or concerns - contact a tutor.  Also, practice writing this essay at home.  I did not assign homework because I assume that you will either practice writing this essay at home or you will spend time with a tutor ....... that is YOUR homework.
