Chapter 21 Short Response
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lyddie was charged with "moral turpitude" at the end of Chapter 21 for causing trouble for Mr. Mardsen (her overseer). This means that she was seen as a trouble maker in the factory. Moral turpitude can be charged on a person when he or she acts in a way that violate or offends others. In other words, it's charged for doing a wicked or bad action. We read that Lyddie is discharged (fired) without an honorable letter. This means that no other cooperation/factory will hire her.
QUESTION: In your opinion, do you think Lyddie stood up for herself when she was been questioned and charged by the agent in the office? Why do you think she did or did not? Explain in 2-3 sentences.
Learning Target:
Today I will analyze Lyddie's actions in Chapter 21.
So that I can determine her point of view on the act she was accused of.
I'll know I've got it when I can argue whether or not Lyddie defended herself during this time in a short response question.

Here is an example of a body (MEAEAL) paragraph:
Main Point/My Claim: Lyddie should not sign the petition because if she does, she will get blacklisted.
Context/Background information about the book:
At this point in the novel, the girls are able to sign the petition. However, they are scared of being dismissed and blacklisted.
Evidence #1:
According to the text, on page 91 it states, “I’ve have half a mind to sign the blooming petition. I’m thinking of you.
Evidence #2: ” On page 92, it states, “What will you do with no job? You’d be blacklisted. No other corporation will hire you anywhere.”
Analysis: These quotes show that Lyddie is considering signing. It expresses what the risks of signing the petition will be. Lyddie is a smart girl and should make the smart decision.
Link/Restate my main point: If Lyddie signs the petition, she will put her future at stake. She needs to remain working, or she won’t be able to pay off her family’s debts.
