BLORP! TIQA Paragraph Lab: Interactive Writing Lesson (High School)

Learn to write a literary analysis paragraph with TIQA: Topic sentence, Intro to the quote, Quote, Analysis.

Students read an original Halloween-season short story, "The Crooked Pumpkin," then work through 7 practice moves. Every question has a Hint button and a Reteach button. Each correct answer earns a roll of the die to build BLORP's Halloween costume. The lesson ends with a boss-level challenge: write a full TIQA paragraph and check it against a building-block checklist.

• Topic sentence, intro to the quote, quote, and analysis
• Choosing and punctuating strong quotes
• Moving beyond retelling to real analysis
• Works on computers, tablets, and phones
