On a separate doc or slideshow, attach a picture or pdf of a small excerpt in your novel. Analyze the excerpt for character/setting/pov/OR symbol (choose 1) and describe how the author uses diction and syntax in order to develop the character/setting/pov/OR symbol in that section. You excerpt should be no longer than one page.

Write your essay on the first doc underneath the prompt. Use the same font, and either 11 or 12 pt. font size. You may highlight or take notes on the passage.

Using the example that we completed in class today, add comments to your own thesis and body paragraph:
1. Does your thesis fully answer prompt, including specific lit devices as well as the overall meaning of the passage?
2. topic sentence-does it clearly tell reader what you will be proving?
3. evidence--is it clearly relevant to what you state in your topic sentence? Are your quotes too long/could you use words/phrases instead? Do you briefly explain the meaning of the evidence (commentary)?
4. Do you have your own interpretation/analysis of the devices the author uses and the meaning of the text?

If you do, explain why in comment.
If you don't explain and fix in comment.

Using two of of the texts we have read in this unit, write an essay analyzing how each author uses setting, characterization, OR point of view in their text to reveal their beliefs (theme) about the relationship between power and freedom. In your response, you must clearly identify what that relationship is in each text using a theme of the work.

Your thesis should address the element that you will be analyzing for each text, as well as an overarching/big picture statement about the relationship between power and freedom--this is what your analysis will prove later! In the body paragraphs, you will be able to get more specific about how each text develops theme using the chosen element in order to prove that overarching statement.

Please post your thesis on the doc provided. This will count as your attendance for Friday.

Follow the directions on the attached doc to prep for your essay.

Read the short story on pg. 337-9 of your volume 1 text. Analyze the story looking for imagery, figurative language, diction, and syntax and tell how those elements create tone.

Post your sentences on the attached doc.

Choose a passage of no more than one page from a favorite novel, poem, short story, or piece of drama. Explain the elements and then the theme. Remember, you are only commenting on the passage, not the entire work.

Choose two of the lit analysis elements and apply them to a chapter in Kindred. (Setting, character, pov, plot/conflict, possible themes). Be sure to use textual and visual details to illustrate your analysis.

The passage and prompt are attached to this doc. You will have to take any notes on a separate piece of paper.

Finish reading Kindred by Monday. Add final notes to your journal.

Prompt: Carefully read the following excerpt from A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry.
For your focused observation, be sure to consider how Hansberry uses characterization, plot and conflict, setting, and symbol.

Your hw assignment is on the last presentation slide.

Read the following speech and write an essay in response to the prompt.
Remember that you must have the following: an intro and clear thesis that fully responds to the prompt, strong claims in each paragraph that you can use evidence to support, analysis, and a brief concluding paragraph.

Using the sample attached, redo one of your body paragraphs making sure that you have all of the highlighted pieces in your paragraph. Highlight accordingly.

Use the doc below to complete your peer feedback.

Using your claim and evidence work, write two body paragraphs using the following format:
Thesis: (in it's own paragraph at the top of the page)
Body 1: Turn claim 1 into topic sentence, add evidence, show how evidence proves claim (analysis)
Body 2: Turn claim 2 into topic sentence, add evidence, show how evidence proves claim (analysis)

No need to highlight in paragraphs at this point.

Please redo the second question if you need to. I also underlined the reference to "dangerous unselfishness" because your text is formatted a bit differently than mine. Sorry for any confusion.
