Friday Feb 15

Per 5 Ms. Scott

Today we:

Discussed the BODY PAR. 1 planning sheet---Many students tried to fit TWO characters and how they convey theme on the handout---This is a planning sheet for ONLY 1 character. Some students will need to revise it on the back side.

Went over the sample essay I handed out a couple of days ago and looked at what a body paragraph in a thematic analysis essay looks like:

Topic sentence
Context of scenes leading to text evidence of theme being conveyed by a certain character
Analysis of the text evidence in relation to theme and how that character expresses this particular lesson or human experience
Wrapping up with a thematic statement at the end of that paragraph (option)

Began writing body paragraph 1 on computers

Homework:

No homework this weekend...Bring books to class on TUESDAY!!!

Turn in an extra credit assignment by Friday:

b.An interview with a character- 10 questions and a brief paragraph about why you chose these questions.

What did we do today?

we reviewed theme and thematic statement.
We answered the essential question: what is toxic masculinity and how does it impact the Younger family?
To answer that question, we did a think pair share with these questions:

is it fair for Walter to say that Mama “bashed his dreams” at the end of Scene 1?

Q2: How are Walter and George different? George and Joseph?

Why is Ma’am so Concerned when Walter walks out on the family?

George says he wants a “simple...sophisticated girl”. What does he mean by that?

Have a Happy Wednesday :)
