We’re continuing with our work from yesterday.
So let’s start with silent reading/notes (for your short story) but remember, I need a blog post from you tomorrow. See the side bar for a link to all your blogs.
Learning Goal:
We are learning to apply a particular literary theory to a short story to reveal an implicit meaning.
I will know I am successful when I can….
- Create a thematic/thesis statement that summarizes what my chosen theory reveals about the short story
- Support my ideas with evidence from the text: at least 3 big ideas, with 3 pieces of supporting evidence (quotation, summary, paraphrase)
- Include page references in MLA format (44)
- Explain a meaning that my chosen theory reveals that other would not
- Use key concepts of my chosen theory to explain elements of the short story
- Use those elements correctly to draw conclusions about my short story that are directly related to the thematic/thesis statement
- Communicate clearly in the medium I have chosen
