2. Pass around your annotated bibliographies. In turn, explain why you chose the claims you chose, the sources you chose and your reasons. Since there was still some confusion, remember: That's what an annotated bibliography is...it's a planning device for writing. It marries CLAIM to EVIDENCE (the source) and helps you flesh out WHY that marriage will help you build an argument!
3. Prepare to share the "perfect marriage" in your family. I will be coming around to get it.
4. Then we will be engaging in a Family Challenge (quiz)!
Assignments: 1. Formal Essay #3 due Monday (approx 2 pages)
2. Review the Parallelism section of Hacker. Quizzes are coming, and when the do...they will be fast and furious...like those cars in that movie with Vin Diesel. You've been warned.
3. Do a "second level" read of "Heels" for Journal #4 you will write a "level 2" reaction. Remember that level one is merely preference and comprehension. In level 2, you should be making judgments of the work to analyze theme. Though I am fairly certain you have done similar assignments in high school, if you don't know where to start, consider the following ideas to guide your writing.
A. What can you infer about the character? What evidence from the story makes these inferences viable? What do they reveal about the narrator?
B. What would final conclusion is drawn by the author? Don't think of this only in terms of "what happened;" think of it in terms of what that means for the narrator.
C. Consider the "truths" of the story. What is the truth revealed by the actions of the story. They are greater than the basic struggle and tragedy unfolding, right? Why? How? Who is to blame for what takes place...think further than the heinous, threatening men.
D. Why right such a terrible story? Is there a greater purpose living beneath the surface? What might that be?
