- For tonight, please read the chapter on writing memorable scenes in nonfiction from the text You Can't Make This Stuff Up by Lee Gutkind. Take note of the scene's "ingredients" as noted by Gutkind. Then, revisit the essay we read today by Chuck Klosterman. Select a scene from the essay and on lined paper, describe what you notice about the way in which Klosterman constructs the scene. Bring in your response to class on Wednesday.
Block B:
- Study your vocabulary words for tomorrow's quiz.
- Begin work on the organizer I gave you in class to categorize the articles by character and topic. Make sure you keep track of which article each piece of information comes from. We will continue to work on this tomorrow after your vocabulary quiz. Remember, you are going to earn credit for each step in the process of this assignment, so hang on to all of your good work!
Block C:
- For Thursday, please return to your mind maps from Chapter 7 and be sure to include at least 6 pieces of textual evidence (QUOTES) from the chapter to accompany your illustrations or timelines.
- In addition, return to Chapter 7 and select a significant passage that resonated with you. Copy the passage down on lined paper, and then thoughtfully respond to the following questions:
- What does the passage SAY? (literally)
- What does the passage DO? (figuratively)
- What does the passage MEAN?(why does it matter?)
